player profile
Graduated from McKendree University with my Bachelors in Exercise Science and Sports Performance AND my Masters in Athletic Training, where i also competed collegiately for 5 years and earning the title of the 2022 NCAA National Champions.
After finishing 5th at the 2022 USBC Queens, 14th at the US Women’s Open, and 3rd at the Pepsi Classic, I will finally be joining the PWBA tour full time!! Can’t wait to be out competing with the best female bowlers in the world with jerseys that make me confident and comfortable!
Who / What Got You Started in Bowling?
We started as a family, participating in “Kids Bowl Free” over the summers. Me being the competitive person that I am, hated that I wasn’t very good and worked to get better. I got my first reactive ball soon after and have never looked back since!
What Do You Love About the Sport?
I love bowling because it’s not predictable. It challenges me in every way possible. Bowling has also brought me the best friends and second families that I could ask for.
Favorite Bowling Memory
My favorite bowling memory thus far would have to be when I participated in the Pro-Am at the Striking Against Breast Cancer doubles tournament! I had bowled Pro-Am’s growing up but this was the first for me as a “pro” and had such a blast meeting everyone and having fun while bowling!
Who is Your Favorite Bowler?
I have always loved Danielle McEwan, still do even now! I’ve always admired her form and poise while she bowls so much so that I would study videos of her bowling and try to imitate it.
