About me: I’m a recent University of Wisconsin-La Crosse graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, following my high school graduation in 2023. I’ve always been driven by competition—from winning a state championship in travel softball to now hitting the courts in a competitive pickleball league and golfing weekly. Beyond sports, I’m a dedicated cat mom to two sweet kitties, and fun fact: I’m a twin!
