STUDENT-ATHLETE

The first time I stepped onto a golf course was in sixth grade. I attended a First Tee class with my sister and at the time, I didn’t even own a collared shirt. Reflecting on my time playing competitive golf from middle school through college, I know where I developed my drive to outperform and achieve success. As a woman playing a male-dominated sport, respect was never given but always had to be earned. As soon as I stepped onto Flagler’s campus, I was eager to prove myself.

In my freshman year, I proved to be a versatile athlete as I became a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), logged over 100 volunteer hours, and won the Athlete of Character Award at the Saints Choice Awards. In my sophomore year, I was nominated to be President of SAAC and led weekly meetings where I spear-headed on-campus fundraising events benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In April of last year, I represented all Flagler College athletes at the National NCAA Leadership Forum in Baltimore, Maryland. 

Content Creator

The most unique part of my journey as a content creator is that I still feel the same excitement and eagerness to learn as my younger self did when she was working on my high school news show. 

Throughout my studies at Flagler College, I have developed extensive skills in content creation and writing through the Strategic Communication program. I gained valuable experience filming fast-paced sporting events including men's tennis, basketball, and women's volleyball. Learning to edit video efficiently in Lightroom and Premiere Pro and posting highlights promptly on social media platforms presented a steep learning curve, as I strategized on crafting content tailored specifically to each sport's audience. The written portion of the program sharpened my abilities in drafting newsletters, performing case analyses, and composing news articles. Balancing these demanding assignments amidst a busy athletics schedule instilled in me tenacity and accountability.
