I played high school basketball and softball. I earned all state honors in basketball 3 out of four years, and for softball 3 out of four years. I had my high school basketball jersey retired for breaking the all time leading scorer record with over 2,000 points in my high school basketball career.

I went on to play Collegiate Basketball for 4 years. I played at Wichita State in Wichita, Kansas a Division 1 school. I then transferred back home to play locally for my family and friends to watch me at the collegiate level. I continued my academics and athletics at the NAIA level at Columbia College in Columbia, MO. I received newcomer of the year, 1st team all conference and 1st team all region.

I have been around sports my whole life and that is what has lead me to NCSA. I joined NCSA as a recruiting coordinator. My favorite part of working for NCSA is making a difference in the lives of student athletes and their families. Being able to have that connection with families and having that trust is something I take pride in.

I currently live in St. Louis, Missouri with my partner and our dog Diamond who is a lab mix. I enjoy working out and hanging with friends and family. I love watching any kind of sporting event that is happening on TV. I am a huge fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and Golden State Warriors!
