In the 4th grade, when the Rage Cage finally came out of the net in my local township lacrosse league, the coaches would beg everyone to take a turn to play goalie. One Saturday, I jumped in the net for my turn. Little did my coaches know that Saturday was the last Saturday they would have to beg anyone to jump in the net. I was immediately in love with being there. That same 4th grade coach called me "unflappable," and I have tried to live up to that compliment every single year since.

I started playing club lacrosse for STEPS Philadelphia in 5th and 6th grade. In 7th grade, I started playing for Big 4 HHH Philadelphia led by coach Colleen Magarity. I have played with HHH since then and have absolutely loved it. Our team has played some of the best teams in the nation, and I have been lucky enough to face tough shots from incredible athletes through my experience with Big 4 HHH.

COVID-19 unfortunately cancelled my freshman high school lacrosse season at Mount Saint Joseph Academy. In my debut as the varsity goalie in my sophomore year, I finished the season with a .523 save percentage and 177 saves. Our team was the first in school history to make it to the PIAA state playoffs and I am so proud to be a part of it.
