Sibok Liza Fernandez
FTK Studio Owner, Karate Instructor
I'm Liza Fernandez, and Bernal Heights is more than just a place to me—it's my home, my heart, and my community. Being born and raised here on Anderson Street, I've spent 35 years in this lively neighborhood and have been practicing karate here since I was 5 years old.
Growing up in Bernal, I had the privilege of being part of events like 'Fiesta on the Hill' and the 'Hillwide Garage Sale'. These experiences taught me the power of unity and the beauty of people coming together for a common cause. From serving as an altar server at St. Catherine's to my first job at the Bernal Heights Community Center, every opportunity I’ve had here shaped my sense of belonging and service."
