Hi! I am 27 years old and I am from Rochester, NY. I bowl at ABC gates bowl where I’m lucky enough to work as well! I did bowl collegiately for one year at Sacred Heart University and have been bowling on the PWBA tour for the past 2 years. I’m a big foodie and most of my jerseys are food themed! My dream is own a donut shop one day!

Who / What Got You Started in Bowling?

My family is big into bowling. I started at 4 years old with my dad and 23 years later he’s still my favorite partner! We even have family competitions called the “mangiola” cup.

 

What Do You Love About the Sport?

So much! It’s always fun to tell people “I’m a bowler”, they always are so interested and think it’s so unique which sparks a conversation on how many opportunities bowling has. Bowling has allowed me to travel to some pretty cool places and make lifelong friends from all over the world. It’s a sport that everyone can do no matter the skill level.  I am so thankful for everything bowling has done for me and I’m so excited to see where else it takes me!

 

Favorite Bowling Memory

There’s a few… when I was 16 I was able to lead junior gold for the first 3 days, being 1 of 4 girls to finish plus out of over 500 entries!

Another memory was being chosen to bowl the first bowlero elite series as an amateur and then eventually a few years later bowling on the women’s tour as a pro and bowling a 300 at my first ever PWBA event!

 

Who is Your Favorite Bowler?

Doug Kent! I’m lucky enough to live near him and was able to bowl with his kids. Not only is he a great bowler but so is his family!
