Recruit Profile
UA 2021 Seniors Watch List. IL Womens Young Gun, four-time UA All American Underclass, two sport varsity athlete, honors student, coachable, hard working, positive presence.

I started playing lacrosse in 5th grade for our local club team (Shark River) and was quickly asked by my coach to play for T3 Elite Shore. I have been in goal ever since, starting for T3 Elite Shore Black 2021. I made varsity as a freshman and sophomore at Manasquan High School and split time evenly in goal. I helped our high school team make it to conference and regional state championships both my freshman and sophomore years and in 2019 we won the NJ State Sectional championship, which was a first time in our schools history. I was also fortunate to earn a spot on the Under Armour NJ Team three years in a row (2017, 2018, 2019). In 2018, our NJ Under Armour Command team won the UA National Championships, which is the first for a NJ team in any division.

Besides lacrosse, my second sports passion is basketball. I made our Manasquan High School varsity basketball team as a freshman and sophomore. In my freshman season our basketball team went undefeated and won several championships including the NJ State Title. We were ranked 17th in the country by USA Today Sports. Winning both the Under Armour National Championship for Lacrosse and the NJ State Title for Basketball was an incredible experience for my freshman year!

Off the field, I am very passionate about my academics and finished my freshman year with a 4.0 average, including taking 3 honors courses. In 8th grade, I was selected as a Monmouth University Women in Sports Honoree for outstanding leadership on and off the field.
