Head of communications - Regional Ambassadors Manager, USA
Why are you involved with WBLGN?
Box Lacrosse reinvigorated my love for the sport, the grind, and competition. The power and speed of the game instills confidence and a sense of empowerment unlike any other discipline. I am involved with WBLGN to ensure other athletes have the chance to experience that feeling.
What was your favourite Lacrosse moment?
Winning gold at the 2024 World Box Championships. I had never been a part of a team that set an end goal and actually reached it. Earning the gold medal around women who worked equally as hard for our common goal was the most rewarding moment of my life.
Fun Fact:
I am a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
How are you involved in Box Lacrosse today?
I play in multiple men's leagues in the NY metro area, and am working on running youth clinics around the United States.
