I received my A.B. from Bryn Mawr College in 2004 with a double major in geology and philosophy. My geology work focused primarily on structural geology and earth science pedagogy. In philosophy my area of concentration was existentialism. I was awarded 12 varsity letters during my student tenure - in field hockey, indoor track, and outdoor track. I captained all three teams my senior year, earning the Commitment Award and the departmental Yeager Award for outstanding service to my teammates and community. 

I received my master's degree in sports leadership from Northeastern University in 2013. After working with student-athletes as a coach and an administrator for several years, I was interested in acquiring formal education in the field. Athletics lends a unique opportunity to model and develop leadership skills in both individual and group situations. (Read my thesis on Underserved Populations here)

I am currently a doctoral candidate for Educational Leadership at Rowan University. My estimated completion date is May 2023.
