Raised in Independence, MN and graduated from Orono High School in 2011, I was captain of the Orono Girls Hockey team in 2010-2011 and captain of the Orono Girls Lacrosse team in 2011. Continuing my passion for sports and drive for competition, I had the opportunity to help start the Polo Club of UW-Madison and play polo collegiately at University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Returning home, as Minnesotans do, I focused on playing polo for a few years before having a desire to give back to the hockey community that built me right here in Orono. I was an Assistant Coach to the U12A Orono-Westonka Warriors in 2019-2020, and Head Coach for the U15B Orono-Westonka Warriors in 2021-2022. It has been an honor and a privilege to be able to give back to such an incredible community and help develop young woman on and off the ice. I am ecstatic to begin a new journey as the JV Head Coach and Assistant Varsity Coach. Go Spartans!
