I was born and raised in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, where I grew up participating in sports throughout my childhood. I attended a four-year college program at Waynesburg University where I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business/sports management and a minor in entrepreneurial leadership. After my time as a student at Waynesburg University, I continued my education at PennWest University where I completed my master’s degree in business/athletic administration.

As an athlete, I was a four-year member of the Waynesburg University Men’s Basketball team. During my time on the Waynesburg Men’s Basketball team, I was honored three times on the Presidents Athletic Conference (PAC) Sportsmanship team (2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22). I was also a part of the 2022 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Academic Honors Court.

I am very excited to be working for NCSA because I have always been passionate about sports and helping others. Working at NCSA, I get an opportunity to do both of these things daily. The most rewarding part of working for NCSA is that I get to connect with families and guide them in the right direction of the recruiting process. Being someone who has gone through the recruiting process, I am excited to help and give back to student-athletes. Another favorite part of working with NCSA is not only having that connection with families but my colleagues. I am a team player, I am very determined, and I am always willing to put forth my best effort as if I’m ready to play on the court.
