About Me

- Name: Bouchard's Karate Academy
- Location: South Paris, Maine, United States
When my oldest son fell victim to a bully in the fourth grade, I enrolled us both in karate to boost his self-respect, self-control and confidence. Little did I know it would have an equal or greater impact on me, as well. Karate not only gave me the confidence I never had as a child, it also instilled in me a renewed focus on life, and set me on a quest to eventually earn my Black Belt in July 2005.I have since opened Bouchard’s Karate Academy in South Paris, Maine. While teaching, I will continue to learn and grow at Pelletier’s Karate Academy in Lewiston, Maine. Shihan Rich Pelletier has carefully guided me through his magnificent teaching methods, which I am glad to share with my own students. In November 2004, I was selected to represent the USA in the World Open Karate Championships where I placed 9th in the Female Lightweight Division. When I’m not practicing martial arts, I work full-time as an insurance agent at a family-owned agency in Lewiston, Maine. I reside in South Paris, Maine, with my husband and two sons.
