Why athletics? 

Athletics has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and so many of the lessons and relationships that shaped me came through sports. My coaches always told me, “You won’t remember the scores, but you’ll remember your teammates,” and that has always stuck with me. I work in athletics because I want to give back and help create those same meaningful experiences and memories for student-athletes.

What do you love about Beaver?

What makes Beaver special to me is the people and the relationships I’ve built here. I’ve had the opportunity to watch students grow, coach them, celebrate them, and be part of their athletic experience. I also love that Beaver encourages us to think differently about what athletics can be—it’s about more than winning. It’s about building relationships, developing leaders, creating a sense of belonging, and giving students experiences they’ll carry with them long after they graduate.

Favorite part of the job?

The best part of my job is the people—getting to know our student-athletes, coaches, and families and being part of the Beaver community.
