As a four-year NCAA DIII athlete at Johnson & Wales University (Providence) and Methodist University, I’ve experienced the exhilaration of the collegiate athletic recruiting process and successfully navigated the delicate balance between academics and athletics. My student-athlete experiences have afforded me a deep understanding of the inner workings of collegiate athletics, which I utilize as a recruiting coordinator at NCSA to help student-athletes and families maximize their recruiting experience.

In addition to my on-court involvement, I’ve served on the Commissioner’s Council for the NCAA DIII Great Northeast Athletic Conference. In this capacity, I’ve tirelessly advocated for student-athletes’ rights and welfare across the NCAA, ensuring they have the necessary support, resources, and programs to excel academically and athletically.

My coaching philosophy is rooted in a sincere commitment to helping athletes maintain a strong connection to the ‘why’ behind their academic and athletic ambitions. The most rewarding part about working with NCSA is providing unwavering support and service to families and athletes throughout their recruiting journey.
