Before lacrosse I did cheerleading for Cheer Central Suns. That is where I learned determination and discipline. I started playing lacrosse when I was 10. I was the draw taker for my lacrosse team and the most aggressive towards ground balls. Going into middle school I knew I had speed so my parents encouraged me to try track. I absolutely loved it. In sixth grade I made it to districts in two events, which were the 800 and the medley. I kept playing lacrosse throughout middle school and did many camps at different colleges. Some of the camps I did were CU Boulder and DU several times. My seventh grade year I decided I was more of a sprinter than a long distance runner. I tried hurdles and different sprints and made it to districts again for three events. Hurdles, 4x100, and the 400. I continued to play lacrosse for the Parker Hawks which transitioned into Stampede. I was playing a year older because I am very young for my age, I will graduate at 17 years old. Eighth grade came around and I decided I needed to run shorter sprints. I did the 100, 200, hurdles, long jump, and the 4x100. I made it to districts and placed in all of those events. I was bummed out because high school track and lacrosse were in the same season so I had to pick one or the other, I knew my passion was lacrosse. I did camps at DU to prepare myself for tryouts and I did fall ball through South Suburban. I made Varsity my freshman year and was a starter by the first playoff game. My biggest challenge freshman year was my non dominant hand. I spent so much time practicing and strengthening my left hand and now I am comfortable using my left hand in games and practices. I volunteer every summer at my church for VBS, I love working with little kids and being there leader for the week. I also help at my dad's Jiu Jitsu gym training with the kids classes. I love being able to be there for anyone I can! I'm in multiple honors classes and have been for as long as I can remember. I have done exchange programs where I have spent a month in Spain with a family. I have gone to Europe three times, I love travelling.
