About Me

W ELCOME! My name is Miss Cash. I am the oldest sister to three younger brothers, an overwhelming title I carry with pride and love. I have lived on Long Island my whole life until I moved to California for college. Growing up, my brothers and I were raised by the water. Whether we were at the beach or in the pool, the Cashes have always been an aquatic family. All three of my brothers, my dad, and I are all beach lifeguards over the summer, continuing to share our common love for the ocean. Swimming was nearly a non-negotiable in my family. The sport brought me to the D1 level, where I have just finished competing as captain of the UCLA Swim Team. Academically at UCLA, I graduated with my undergrad in communications in three years. In my fourth year, I finished a Master's of Education in Transformative Coaching and Leadership. My time at UCLA was beyond my wildest dreams. One staple in my experience at UCLA was my participation in their Special Olympics UNIFIED club, where I would play basketball alongside individuals with intellectual disabilities. This was constantly a highlight of my week, which has inspired a passion for the community. In the future, I hope to spend time working with individuals with special needs; whether that be in the education setting, the sports setting, or a leadership setting. Some ideas I have for my career include possibly being a special education teacher, a principal or school administrator, a culture consultant or executive leadership coach, or something with Special Olympics. No matter where my career takes me, I hope to be able to prioritize continuing the volunteer work as a partner with Special Olympics. During my time at UCLA, I also had the pleasure of scratching my coaching itch as I was the head coach of a girls' high school swim team for two years. This experience heightened my administrative and delegation abilities. Through all of my experiences, my philosophy for how I approach life has stayed the same. I often reference the idea as: "Grow through what you go through."  No matter what is thrown at you in life, good, bad, tragic, or life-changing, there is always something to be learned. A key pillar to achieving growth through adversity is keeping an open mind. I am a proud lifetime learner who approaches every situation with intentionality, respect, and with a keen ability and aptitude to build meaningful relationships. There is something to be learned from everyone and everything.
