I started playing lacrosse at age 7 for my local summer league. I immediately fell in love with the sport as I’ve always had a competitive drive. When I first joined Monster in 6th grade I loved the competitive aspect and playing at the next level. In 2019 as a 7th grader I made varsity for my school team, Gowanda. That season I was the third leading scorer with 31 goals as a midfielder and made Western New York First Team Class D. In my freshman year I scored 52 goals and had 20 assists, I also scored 6 goals to lead my team to our first sectional championship win. My sophomore year I was the leading scorer with 65 goals and had 17 assists, I also had a total of 111 draw controls in 15 games. That season I made First Team All WNY. I also play varsity basketball, varsity soccer, and volleyball for my high school. Excelling academically is equally important to me as excelling on the field. I took AP World History as a sophomore, and was elected as a NYSPHSAA scholar athlete. My family and community are important to me as well and I’m proud to reside on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation. I also volunteer at American Legion post 1587 making and serving meals to veterans and elders in my community.
