Originally from Oregon, I grew up as a sports-loving tomboy. When I was 6, my dad signed me up for the city’s youth basketball program, and I was hooked. I played under his coaching in high school, continued for four years in college, and even spent a season with the semi-professional "Phoenix Lady Elite 1’s" in Arizona. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of playing with top athletes, coaches, and programs, learning from each experience and integrating those lessons into my own training style.
