I was born and raised in WA, where I began playing lacrosse as a freshman in high school for the Mukilteo Lacrosse Club as a defender and midfielder, and had also played for a local travel team, Vand'al. Later I was recruited to play lacrosse at Aurora University in Aurora, IL. as a midfielder. During my time in college I was on the inaugural AU Womens Lacrosse team as a four-year starter, and captain my sophomore, junior, and senior years. I played on the USA Athletes International Lacrosse team in the 2015 Down Under Lacrosse Tournament in Melbourne, Australia. I also made MWLC 1st Team All Conference for Defense and Midfield two years in a row. After double majoring and receiving my B.A in Secondary Education and English, I was the assistant womens lacrosse coach for Pacific University in Forest Grove, OR. She has also had coaching stints with IWLGA in Illinois, and LaxNW in Oregon before moving back to Seattle,WA and joining the Seattle Starz and Mercer Island staff, where I have been since returning to WA. During my time coaching the Seattle Starz 2025 Elite team we have taken home 2 championships and made a number of championship appearances at tournaments. Additionally the MIHS Varsity and JV teams have gone undefeated since 2019-2021.
