Originally from Del Mar, California, I arrived in Boston on a full-ride D1 volleyball scholarship to Northeastern University where I went on to complete my Master’s Degree in Sports Leadership. I fell in love with the energy and bustling sports culture of Boston the moment I set foot in the city and now am a proud resident of Duxbury on the South Shore. I am what you call " transplant / band-wagon" New England sports fan and am dedicated to giving back to those in need through the power of the sports community. 

As a competitor and philanthropist at heart, I am fighting on October 12th for the kids who can't fight with us today. I am dedicating my fundraising efforts to Team IMPACT, an organization that has had a direct positive impact on my life since getting involved. Team IMPACT matches children facing serious illness and disability with college sports teams, creating a long-term, life-changing experience for everyone involved. 

For a healthy child, there are a number of systems through their family, school, or larger community where they are able to find support and socialization. For children living with a serious illness or disability, these systems can be strained. Team IMPACT provides a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment for a child and their family to connect with a college athletic team and local campus community. Anyone who has been involved in a team sport can speak from experience on the power of team. Together, teammates learn incredible life lessons about hard work, accountability, teamwork, perseverance, leadership, adversity, and grit.

Thank you for supporting me on this journey, every dollar counts.

I hope to see you all at Fight Night on Thursday, October 12th - I will send updates throughout the next few weeks!
