S&C Intern

Current strength and conditioning intern in Linfield's college weight room. During fall 2022 semester I worked with men's and women's soccer, men's and women's tennis, women's lacrosse, men's and women's track and field, and also men's basketball. My end-of-semester project was to pick a team and program for their current block. I chose women's soccer to get out of my comfort zone and experience a different sport and their demands. I programmed for their sub-max strength block with a focus on speed-strength. I was able to present the program to my coach and the head soccer coach successfully. I am still currently their full time head strength coach. I also continue to work with a multitude of other teams past and present.

SAAC Representative

I represent the women's volleyball team in our school's SAAC program (student-athlete advisory committee). We work to develop a united student-athlete culture by engaging in D3 weeks, holding our very own Catspy award ceremony each year, and holding fundraising drives throughout the year.

VP of Finance for Alpha Phi

Oversaw finances for Linfield sorority. Managed money in and out of the chapter. Developed and managed a budget for an entire fiscal year and into the following term.

Member of Linfield's Women's Volleyball Team

I am a Libero/DS for the women's volleyball team at Linfield. I am currently a sophomore and have had the privilege of holding a starting position on my team for the last two years in both the libero position as well as a DS role. I am also a team captain with the main goal of developing a strict standard of work ethic along with a positive and encouraging team culture.
