2023 Highlights Personal Statement
I have dreamed of playing at the collegiate level since I first started playing golf. Golf has allowed me to meet amazing friends and make new connections with people everywhere, along with providing me with a peaceful place to clear my mind Having a supportive coach and team to help me along my college journey is something I will always need/want. I love helping my teammates as much as I can and always being supportive of them no matter what. Being a team captain has allowed me to show off my leadership skills and truly connect with everyone on my team. I also help coach junior league players which has allowed to to help share my passion for golf and express the importance of sportsmanship and leadership, along with showing them the beauty of the game. I have a passion for what I do and I always put in the effort to be the best I can. I am constantly working hard to achieve my goals and be the best I can be for myself and my team.
