Claiming to be "an admitted Pollyanna," Chapaty specializes in mentoring young students with ADD, ADHD and other challenges.
"I'm the unlikely Big Kahuna of Tao of Texas Martial Arts. I believe that oftentimes helping others trumps making a dollar. I teach my students the mantra of 'Don't Quit,' never give up on their dreams and goals and work hardest to be part of life's solutions instead of contributing to its problems."
Chapaty's personal blog celebrates triumphs of the human spirit and shares true stories of kids building character through martial arts, and her commercial blog tells of the training facility at East Communities YMCA located at Ed Bluestein Blvd and East 51st Street.
Chapaty worked on The Ranger in various capacities while in the department, and her experience in writing, editing, advertising and public relations has been important in her professional life. She recently communicated to us via Linkedin.
