I was raised in the gorgeous small college town of Pullman, WA. I am blessed to have two amazing parents and three great siblings who I look up to every day (literally, I'm the shortest in the bunch). I played soccer and basketball at the great Pullman High School and made some lifelong friends.

I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to continue my soccer career at a local Division 1 school, Gonzaga University. No one thing has been more beneficial to me as a person than playing college soccer and I am so thankful for my coaches' and teammates' (tough) love and support.

After graduation I was offered a job in Madison, Wisconsin at a healthcare software company called Epic. Despite the slightly corny name, it actually is a rather cool company and truly enjoyed being out on my own for 2.5 years where I met and came to love three born and bred Wisconsin girls that I can call my best friends.

I am currently a graduate student at the University of Washington studying Marketing Behavior. I truly love being back in the Pacific Northwest and although the climate is different than I am used to, it's great being close to family and I find something new each day that makes me realize how lucky I am to call Seattle home.
