I graduated from Durham High School in Northern California, where I was actively involved in sports, competing in both wrestling and golf. These athletic experiences played a significant role in shaping my work ethic, time management skills, and understanding of the dedication needed to succeed in both sports and academics.
Balancing athletics and academics has always been important to me, and I understand the challenges and rewards that come with excelling in both areas. Through my personal experience, I learned how crucial it is to maintain a strong focus on academics while developing as an athlete. These lessons have shaped my approach to supporting student-athletes today.
In my role with NCSA, I am committed to helping student-athletes and their families make informed decisions that align with their academic and athletic aspirations. Whether it’s understanding the recruiting process or identifying schools that best fit an athlete’s goals, I strive to provide clarity and guidance every step of the way. My ultimate goal is to ensure that student-athletes are equipped with the resources and knowledge they need to succeed and reach their full potential.
I’m passionate about the impact I can make on the lives of these athletes, helping them find the right opportunities where they can excel both on the field and in the classroom. The opportunity to make a difference in their journey is what drives me every day.
