Lacrosse is growing in my home town of Boise, Idaho and it has been a good place to develop. But I have really loved going to clinics outside of Boise and around the country because it has helped me excel and learn the technical aspects of the game. In addition, the work on my club team, Timberline, with my coach Lauren Schmidt has been essential for my development as a player. Her support and excellent coaching has been fundamental in my lacrosse journey. Like many athletic lacrosse students, I started as a midfielder. My instinctual ability to recognize my body position in space, coupled with my aggressive play, made midfield a natural fit. I played midfield for the next three years before switching to attack because of my quick reaction skills and scoring abilities. Although I enjoy the attack position, last year I began to play more defense. Because I am competitive and tenacious by nature, an intelligent player, and have a low center of gravity and excellent communication skills, I am a perfect fit for this position. Nevertheless, my experience in all positions (even my thankfully short-lived cameo as goalie) has allowed me to become a flexible player and strengthened my ability to adapt to the needs of the team. School work comes naturally to me and I am always willing to put in the work and go the extra mile. My cumulative weighted G.P.A. is 4.2. Again, my competitive nature serves me well here. Academically, I am hoping to attend a very selective and competitive college.
