Personal Statement
I am passionate about hockey and creative pursuits. I train hard, am very "coachable", and compete even harder. My goal is to play D1 or top D3 hockey and to major in Business and Creative or Costume design. I graduated in 2019 but am playing a PG year to push myself to my highest potential.

This year: I am living on my own in Michigan, playing for Meijer 19U AAA, and attending the Rolston Hockey Academy, where I am coached by Rob Liddell. This summer I trained hard, under the coaching of CWHL's Rachel Llanes, and significantly improved my strength, conditioning and net coverage. I also attended several college camps.
Last year: I stayed in Boston, attended on-line school, and enjoyed playing in the JWHL. Though my team was not strong it was an opportunity face lots of shots (59 recently) from college commits. I made the JWHL All Star team and lead my team to victory.
2017 National Championship season: Played 73 games for the U19 San Jose Jr Sharks with a 92% save percentage and 1.5 GAA on 1177 shots against women's teams. Though a AA team we competed in four AAA tournaments and played exhibition games against boys teams. The highlight of the season was winning the Tier II 2017 National Championship where I lead all goalies in games played and in save percentage. In addition to spring hockey I competed at top AAA camps/exposure tournaments, including: Shattuck St Mary's, NAHA, Beantown (16AAA championship winner), POE, … At 14 I played 49 games as the 16AAA goalie and have been "playing up" ever since. That year I was named to the USA Hockey U15 National Camp where I lead all goalies in save percentage. In 2015 I attended the USA Hockey National Development Camp where I lead all goalies in save percentage.
Supplementary Training: vision/reaction training at sensoryspeed.com (where I hold four female records), strength and conditioning under NWHL's Rachel Llanes, and goalie coaching with a variety of coaches including Rob Liddell, Martin Moody, Ohio State's Lianna Bonanno, Sean Muray, Clint Malarchuk, and Calgary Flame's Jordan Sigalet.
Academics: In my three years at Cupertino High I had a 3.75 GPA with advance placement classes. Attended Connections Academy with a 4.0 GPA and advanced placement courses for my senior year.
Art and Entrepreneurship: In addition to sports I love art and creative design. At 13 I started an internet based business selling stuffed animals, costumes, and art. I have shipped over 120 orders to 11 countries. I put money that I have earned to hockey. I lead creation of decorations for this year's Homecoming including personally creating a 15' great white shark.
