About
Currently, I am a student-athlete and co-captain on the NCAA D2 beach volleyball team at the University of Tampa. In May, I will be graduating with my Bachelors in Entrepreneurship (Minor in Speech Studies). In addition, I am involved in Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, the Lowth Entrepreneurship Center’s Accelerator Program, and the Entrepreneurship Club. My part-time role as an academic tutor to student-athletes allows me to help other students with courses in my free time! In high school, I completed my associate's degree. So, at 19-years-old, I will be graduating in May and starting the Master's in Management program at Georgetown University.
Looking forward to finishing out the beach volleyball season and hopefully winning another national championship with my amazing team!
