I was born and raised in Scottsdale Arizona and have resided here my whole life. I fell in love with sports at a young age, and have always considered it a significant part of my life. I graduated from Arizona State University where I obtained my bachelors degree in community sports management. There I made many great connections with professors, industry professionals, and other students in the sports industry that all contributed to my success. Whether I was playing, watching, coaching, or talking about sports, it has always been a great passion of mine. I played a variety of sports as a youth including basketball, baseball, and soccer. Basketball has always been my favorite sport though, and I played that all the way until the end of high school.

Before joining NCSA, I worked almost 3 years with the Phoenix Suns of the NBA. In my role there, I was able to learn many things, including the ins and out of what is required for preparing for gamedays. I had the privilege to work many big events at the arena including the 2022, 2023, 2024 NBA playoffs as well as several NCAA games that we hosted through the Jerry Colangelo Classic. I also have some experience with volunteer coaching the after school sports programs through the YMCA for kids ranging from 3-11 years old.

My favorite thing about working for NCSA is that I get the opportunity to help student athletes achieve their dream of playing at the collegiate level as well as the opportunity for a higher education. Making the entire recruiting process as seamless as possible for the entire family is something I strive for, as it can be very stressful, especially in todays age. I am a hard working individual that is goal oriented, and I love getting to meet new people

In my free time when I am not working, you can catch me cheering on my valley sports teams including the Suns, Diamondbacks, and Cardinals! I enjoy riding my bike, going to the gym, listening to music, and hanging out with friends and family!
