Miss Lucy - Head Instructor

Along with teaching taekwondo, I love being outside and going for hikes, I love anything to do with art and I especially love graphic design. I love listening to music and I can hear a song twice and know almost all of the words. I collect stickers and my water bottle is covered in them!


​ I absolutely LOVE kids, they are so fun to be around! When I graduate high school in 2022, my plan is either to be a graphic designer or child therapist. Something funny about me is I have a very loud and distinct laugh, and my family and friends have been able to find me by just hearing my laugh.

"I began doing Taekwondo when I was 9 years old, about a year after my siblings started. I have been enjoying it ever since.

My family and I moved to Lone Tree 3 years ago from Chicago, Illinois, which was an exciting and positive change in my life. I love the beautiful mountains and all the awesome activities that come with them. I am an honor roll student and play volleyball and basketball for my school. Somethings you may not know about is that me I love horror movies, I can memorize the lyrics to almost any song after hearing it a couple times, my favorite music generas are alternative, rock, and grunge and my favorite hobby is art.
