How long have you been golfing and what made you start?
When I was a little girl, I would go with my dad to hit balls at the driving range and have chipping contests in our backyard. When it came to playing on the course, I was more interested in riding on the golf cart. I started playing a lot when I was in a freshman in high school and began to take it more seriously. I started playing because my family played and I liked the challenge of it.
How long have you been an EWGA member?
2 years
Besides golf, what has been your involvement with EWGA?
I am on the EWGA National Board. I attended my first board meeting during the 2014 EWGA Championship in Nashville. It was a great experience and I am excited to work with such a great group of board members, who share the same passion for golf and the EWGA. Also, I look forward to representing young professionals and helping increase the number of young professionals in the organization.
Best Golf Advice:
Don't think too much. It's easy to over think your golf swing, what club to hit, where to aim, etc. I believe in trusting your swing and instinct.
Favorite Golf Courses:
Covered Bridge and Champions Pointe Golf Clubs
Besides golf, what do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. I like to go boating, exercise, travel, read, and do something new and adventurous every once in a while. Also, I coach the Providence High School Girls Golf team.
What is something about you that others might find surprising?
For my last 15 credit hours at Indiana University, I interned with the 500 Festival in Indianapolis (similar to the Kentucky Derby Festival) as the Mini Marathon Intern. While the mini marathon was the main event I helped organize, all employees helped the day of each event the 500 Festival put on. For the Character Breakfast and Parade, they had one last costume left and couldn't find someone short enough to fit into it... I was a Power Puff Girl in the 500 Festival Parade. See picture below. That's me...the green Power Puff Girl. :)
