Personal Statement

My aspiration is to play high level collegiate golf while I pursue my academic goals. It's important to me to match well with coaching staff that can develop my skills so I may be an important part of a team and we can have great success. The first time I ever picked up a club I was 13 years old. In my rookie seasons I've had great success,  I was named Golfer of the Year for the West PAC Conference two years in a row, and named first team all conference.  I took the U.P MHSAA title in 2022 and took second place in 2021. I continue to strive to be the best at everything I do whether in school, on the course, or at home. I love golf with a passion and work hard to develop my skills.   Not only do I enjoy winning, I enjoy the work it takes to win.  It is true that my circumstances haven't provided me much experience so I  have been traveling down to the lower peninsula of Michigan in the summer to play in the Callaway/Meijer Tour.  I am also a member of the AJGA. To be the best, one needs skill, drive, good support and great coaching. I believe I have the skill, drive and good support I need for my future collegiate career and am eager to match up with a great school and coach. I have been told every bone and muscle in my body was built to play golf, and I know I have the drive to push myself to a professional level. My dream is to compete in the LPGA, and I believe a strong collegiate golf experience will help bring me to that dream.
