Biography:
As an athlete I cheered NCA, UCA, and MHSAA styles over the years. I am originally from the Kalamazoo area, I graduated from Comstock High School in 2011. After high school I attended Kalamazoo Valley Community College, as a first generation college attendee, where I majored in business and minored in coaching. After earning my associates degree I continued on to attend Grand Valley State University where I earned my bachelor's degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management.
Today I work full time as the College and Career Advisor at Newayo High School and live in Newaygo. I spend my free time reading, fishing, boating, and working on my photography. This year marks my fourth year with Newaygo. I truly love this team and the culture that we have created. I am here because I love the sport and because I love what sports can do for students.
