I grew up in the Chicagoland area and sports have been the pinnacle of my life ever since I was young. Playing sports brings out many life lessons at a young age. Whether it be the ability to manage time effectively, prioritize responsibilities, or develop leadership qualities, these are invaluable skills gained through the competitive and cooperative nature of sports.

I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with athletes and their families, guiding them through every step of the journey—from skill assessment to scholarship opportunities. I believe that open communication and collaboration are key to ensuring a positive recruiting experience.

Playing college sports can have a lasting impact on your life, offering invaluable lessons and experiences that go beyond just the game. You learn discipline and time management as you juggle practices, games, and classes, helping you navigate life’s demands more effectively. The camaraderie built with teammates fosters strong friendships and a sense of belonging that can last a lifetime. You also develop essential leadership and teamwork skills, preparing you to thrive in any professional setting. Most importantly, the challenges you face on the field teach you resilience, helping you bounce back from setbacks and approach obstacles with confidence. The memories and connections made during your college sports journey truly shape who you are, setting a solid foundation for your future.

As a strong advocate for balancing academics and athletics, I am committed to helping families find the right collegiate fit that aligns with their values and aspirations.
