Mickey is a white belt, co-owner and studio manager for Ukiyo Academy. For years, she and Rafael have dreamt of opening an academy that was not only inclusive of women in Jiu Jitsu and martial arts, but a space that can be utilized and diversified for the community.

On days that she’s not being co-coaching kids classes or chatting with parents about their weekly happenings, she’s also filming content for the Academy’s social media. Her side projects for Ukiyo include things from collaborating with other local social clubs and small businesses, as well as designing merchandise and the interiors of the academy.

Mickey is a full time Operating Room Registered Nurse at UCLA campus, so her passion for connecting with people is not just a professional role but also who she is wholly and innately.

Her favorite things to do besides support Ukiyo Academy are to host dinners and bake for her friends and family as well as explore the world with her fiancé and best friend, Rafael.
