Interesting Facts

I am St. Louis native, I grew up with a love sports and being active. I went to Parkway North High School where I played field hockey and lacrosse all four years. Then accepted an offer to play women's lacrosse at Missouri Baptist University in St. Louis. Where I played all four years, was captian for two seasons, awarded all conference for defense in 2015. I was introduced to the coahcing world by a college teammate during my freshmen year and fell in love, during my last semester in college I couldint imagine giving up coaching. I went on to get my masters in sport managment so I wouldnt have to give it up. After graudating, I was able to become a college lacrosse coach. To me coaching is more then just the teaching of the sport, I enjoy watching my athletes grow into the indivudals they become, to see where life takes them and knowing that I get to be apart of that ride and help guide them and give them the tools they need to succeed on and off the field. Aside from coaching you can typically find me at the gym, outside, or at the Starbucks on campus.
