I grew up just outside of Detroit, Michigan, and played every sport imaginable throughout my childhood. I attended Grosse Pointe South High School, where I was a volleyball team member and earned four letters.
After being given the opportunity to compete at the next level, I eventually committed to play Division I volleyball at Appalachian State University. I was a member of the women’s volleyball team from 2017-2021 as an outside hitter/opposite. While at App State, I pursued a degree in recreation management and graduated with my Bachelor of Science in May 2021.
Due to Covid-19, I was allowed to play a fifth year of volleyball. I chose to transfer to the University of Maryland for the Fall of 2021, where we made history by defeating the previously unbeaten #2 Wisconsin. This win ended up being Maryland’s first-ever against a Top-10 program and first over a ranked team since beating #15 Michigan in 2018. That Wisconsin team went on to win the national title that year.
I enjoyed my time at both universities, playing the sport I love! Having experience at both the mid-major and power five levels helped me better understand all the opportunities available to those wanting to play at the next level.
After my time at Maryland, I transferred to Florida Atlantic University to earn my master’s degree in Higher Ed and work as an Academic Advisor for student-athletes. I graduated from FAU in May 2023 and started looking for a job that would allow me to share the transformative power of sports and help develop holistic student-athletes.
NCSA helped me through my recruiting process, and I can confidently say that this company is all-in for their student-athletes and their families. Now it is my turn to be that support and guidance for the next generation of college athletes!
I currently reside in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida with my pup, Hooch! However, I am a Detroit sports fan through and through! Once a Michigander, always a Michigander
