My Background
I was born and raised in Springfield, Pa, which is a small town in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I have a deep love for the city of Philadelphia, and I am a fan of the Eagles, Flyers, and Phillies.

But while I was a youth official, I had the opportunity to teach young girls how to correctly play the game of lacrosse. I gained the ability to adapt what I know into a way that is helpful to an audience that is less knowledgeable than me.
• Being a part of sports teams and a pledge class has made me a solid team worker. I feel I work best in group situations because there are the chances to throw ideas off of each other.
