I was a two-sport college athlete at Oswego State and became a graduate assistant at Concordia University Wisconsin upon graduating in 2017. After earning my Masters degree in 2019, I was hired as the full-time assistant coach for both the ice hockey and lacrosse at CUW. I spent five years coaching there before switching over to health coaching and nutrition. As a college coach I was the key recruiter on both coaching staffs and gained a lot of experience recruiting student athletes to the college level. There is nothing better than helping student athletes push themselves to find the best college fit possible for them.

The most rewarding part about working for NCSA is being able to connect with families and support student athletes in what typically is the biggest decision they have made in their lives thus far. Being a college athlete has so many benefits to your future than the obvious physical benefits and really sets a person up for success moving on into the real world.

I am a highly motivated, team-first player who continues to be a student to life. I am always willing to put forth my best effort and push those I support to be their very best as I would expect from them.

I am from Buffalo, New York originally where I attended Nichols School and then spent several years coaching throughout the midwest. I now reside in Syracuse, New York with my boyfriend and Boston Terrier, Chance.
