AKKA LAS CRUCES
INSTRUCTORS
Kassidy N. Gonzales, the youngest of three girls, was born in 1986 in Las Cruces,
NM.  Growing up with two big sisters made her timid.  However, in 2001 Kassidy found
confidence through practicing martial arts.  She received her first degree black belt in
June 05 and her second degree in June 06.  Kassidy is not the only black belt in the
family, though, her two big sisters are also second degrees.  When Kassidy is not
practicing karate, she is instructing karate, at NMSU, or spending time with friends
and family.  Kassidy is a junior at NMSU, majoring in biology.  She has a cat and
turtle, and loves to garden.  With her degree, she hopes to run her own animal
refuge.  Kassidy loves teaching and learning at BP's AKKA, and lover her whole
karate family!
