NCSA Recruiting
Working hard with an open mind, building relationships, and keeping a positive attitude. Striving to bring out the best in others, while continuously learning how to improve along the way.
Connecting with people and embracing creative experiences that ultimately lead to growth! Developing the knowledge, tools, and wisdom to be the best version of myself for others around me.
I fell in love with sports at a very young age and as I grew, so did my passion. Received a full-ride scholarship to play college baseball at the University of Oregon. Throughout my journey I was blessed with the opportunity to connect with many amazing people and travel around the country to some extraordinary places.
An elbow injury during my freshman year of college required “Tommy John” surgery, which concluded my first season as a duck. Two years later my elbow required a nerve transportation surgery. After countless hours of rehab, two surgeries, and three cortisone injections, my baseball career eventually came to a bittersweet end and I hung up the cleats.
In my eyes, the most exciting part about working for NCSA is the opportunity to give back. My family and I were in the same exact shoes when I was playing, so I’m extremely grateful I get to be a resource for others throughout the recruiting process. I believe in teamwork, communication, embracing challenges, and keeping an open mind. Overall, being recruited can be stressful. My goal is to show young student-athletes and their family’s that this whole experience should be fun!
