I started playing lacrosse in third grade and have always gravitated to defense. Between sixth and eight grade I played for the Force Knights travel summer program. In addition to lacrosse, I have enjoyed playing football for the past five years and basketball for the past seven years. I find both sports provide me with skills that translate to lacrosse in terms of aggressiveness, footwork and athleticism. I am an honors student at Westlake High School and volunteer with Youth Challenge each summer. I'm an active member of St. Bernadette's parish in Westlake, OH and perform several community service hours each year.This November I competed in the Can Am invitational at Detroit County Day School. In the winter I played in the Burning River box lacrosse league. This summer our team went to the Baltimore Summer Kickoff, MVP Invitational, and Trilogy 24, all events on the east coast in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Our team had a combined record of 10 wins 3 losses and 2 ties against some of the countries top teams. We won Trilogy 24 in Baltimore, Maryland going a perfect 5-0.
