I was born in Queens, NY but I have moved around quite a bit in my life! I spent most of my life in the Poconos (Pennsylvania) and when I graduated high school I decided I wanted a change of scenery. I packed up all my things and made the bold move to Florida, where I attended the University of Tampa. I did not play any college sports but I did play pick-up games of basketball and had an extreme love for lifting weights. In 2022 I competed in my first ever bodybuilding competition in a transformation division. It was this year that I married my husband, becoming a military spouse and getting stationed in Tennessee!

Aside from being as dedicated as I am to the gym, I’m thrilled to be part of the team at NCSA. My journey with NCSA has been incredibly rewarding so far and I’m passionate about the work we do here. What drew me to NCSA initially was our commitment to helping student athletes create a pathway to following their dreams to play at the collegiate level.

Additionally, NCSA’s supportive and inclusive environment creates an emphasis on teamwork and mutual respect in supporting one another. There is the understanding that we are here to help student athletes and parents achieve the ultimate goal of being recruited to the college that best fits the student in all areas. It’s this combination of, purpose and camaraderie that makes working at NCSA so fulfilling and why I’m proud to be part of this incredible organization.
