I grew up always playing sports. I played soccer my whole life, then going into high school I decided to pursue cross country and track and field. After running long/mid distances for most of my life, my junior year of high school I decided to try pole vaulting. I fell in love with the sport and took it to college. I competed for three years at Mt. San Antonio College. I placed 7th at the CCCAA State Championships in 2022 and helped my team win the State Championship Title. Being a college athlete, I learned numerous life skills, true grit, and how to overcome challenges. Sadly, a hamstring injury got in the way of my last year of competition and transferring to a four-year university. Instead, I decided to heal up and focus on earning my degree. In 2024, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from California State University, Fullerton. I earned my CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certificate at the age of 17 and coached from 2019-2023. I primarily coached new athletes and also existing student-athletes. I have also worked for numerous athletic brands, such as Lululemon and REI. In addition to my role as a Recruiting Specialist at NCSA, I am also a Physical Education and Leadership Teacher for a Christian Private Satellite Program.

My passions are sports and helping people. I seek to help others find the true blessings involved in doing the sport/activity they love! I didn’t have all the necessary information needed to have an “easy” recruiting experience. I am excited to now work for NCSA, a company that truly cares about seeing families and student-athletes achieve their goals. Drawing on personal experience as a former collegiate athlete and CrossFit coach, I understand the hard work, dedication, and perseverance that goes into both athletic and academic success. This unique perspective drives my commitment to helping student-athletes navigate the recruiting process and achieve their goals of competing at the next level!

In my free time, I love working out at the gym (I am a morning gym girl), going on long walks while listening to a podcast or worship music, and going on adventures with my husband, Nathan. My husband and I currently reside in sunny, Southern California!
