Athlete Bio
I started playing fh in 5th grade, I wanted to play because my older sister was playing and I wanted to be just like her. I then joined NorthEast Elite and fell in love with the game. I was taught by the best of the best and really grew as an athlete and a person. I then committed to UMass Amherst to play D1 Field Hockey. I was at UMass for 5 years and learned so much from my teammates, coaches, and support staff. Following my 5th year (I was granted a covid year) I tried out for the USA National Team. It was a dream come true and something I never expected would be in my future. I made the team and have moved down to Charlotte NC to train full time. My journey had many ups and downs throughout.
Personal Statement
I want to be a mentor for aspiring college athletes because I know firsthand how challenging and rewarding the journey can be. I spent five years as a college athlete, which gave me a lot of experience. I want to share my story, all the ups and downs in hope to encourage others who are navigating similar paths. College athletics can be overwhelming at times, and having someone who’s been through it can make a real difference. I want to be that support system to help others.

I also competed at the club level with Warhawks Field Hockey Club, further developing my skills and passion for the game.
