What attracted you to US Lacrosse?
The culture and sense of community. On my interview I loved what I heard about how hard everyone works as a team in a fun office atmosphere.

What do you like most about lacrosse?
I played soccer growing up and in college but have always actually liked actually watching lacrosse games more. The game is fast-paced, usually high scoring, and the players are very athletic showing finesse and speed.

Who is your all-time favorite athlete?
Michelle Akers. She was a true leader and pioneer for women’s sports who played with more passion than anyone I have ever seen. She suffered chronic fatigue syndrome where she had to constantly have IV's during and after games to keep playing but still managed to lead her to team to an Olympic gold medal and two World Cup championships. That’s one tough lady!

Do you have any hidden talents?
I can make a Cindy-Lou Who face (I guess that’s a talent) and horse face but I’d have to be bribed to show that in public.

What sports do you play/used to play?
Ran track and played soccer in high school and received scholarship for soccer to JMU.

What’s your ideal Saturday?
Sleeping in, running/taking my dog to Patterson Park, going out for a sail and then heading to Nacho Mama’s in Canton with friends for a hubcap margarita.
