I have lived, breathed, and strived to succeed in sports since I can remember. Everything I have learned as a student of the game, I incorporate into everything that I do. I have had every single feeling one could have while trying to perfect my craft for the past 20 years I have participated in sports. I have succeeded and failed, but have always remembered to get back up and try again. During my five years as a Division 1 athlete; I have overcome tearing every ligament in my ankle which led to reconstruction surgery, transferring schools, dealing with the sudden loss of my brother, having another surgery due to plantar fasciitis, and my final season ending abruptly due to the Covid 19 Pandemic. Being thrown many curve balls in my career and personal life, I have still been able to find ways to excel on and off the court despite any distraction or hardship that came my way. I finished my career as a leader, great teammate, 1,000+ point scorer, and helped my team have the best winning record in school history. In all, it has only helped me grow a bigger love and appreciation for life and the game. Being an athlete, will always remain who I am and it will continue to drive me in my journey moving forward. Growing up in Northern New Jersey I have had the opportunity to live a happy life with my parents and three siblings (whom also participated in college athletics). We have spent most of our time traveling across the country for sporting events, which has opened the door to many opportunities and the ability to connect with people from across the country and the world. I attended Immaculate Heart Academy for my high school years where I played soccer, basketball, and softball. I won a state championship in softball and I have won two county championships, four state sectional titles, and a state championship in basketball. I also spent my high school years volunteering at multiple non-profit and local organizations. I have a large passion for helping others. My work experience is mainly in the sport/basketball industry. I also have experience in social media marketing and have recently worked as a graduate assistant at Coastal Carolina University this past year in the Wall College of Business Advising Office. My biggest strength is my work ethic and my ability to relate to others. I am 100% committed to any task I take on or that is given to me. I am always thinking of others in all that I do and try to help any where that I can to make a difference. I have a will to succeed in all that I do and enjoy learning something new each and everyday.
