Why are you involved with WBLGN?
My love for lacrosse first began in the box. And the best part about the sport of lacrosse is the people. I am very passionate about sharing this game and the WBLGN is a special opportunity to do so with the world. As women's sports are on the rise, through the WBLGN we can grow women's box globally to promote and extend the love of lacrosse.
What was your favourite Lacrosse moment?
My favorite playing experience was playing for Team Canada at the 2024 Box Lacrosse World Championships. Getting to play along side some of the greatest in our sport, players I looked up to when I was young, and playing box lacrosse at the highest level was a dream come true.
Fun Fact:
I used to be a high level Irish Dancer before my love for lacrosse took over.
How are you involved in Box Lacrosse today?
I play box for Team Canada. I am also a scout for the Albany FireWolves in the NLL, as the first female scout in history.
Favourite part about Box?
Its fast pace and physicality with so much opportunity for creativity.
Where do you want to see the women's box go?
Be played professionally and have consistent high level opportunities for women to play globally. Also want to see large growth for young girls around the world to be playing.
