How did you start playing golf and at what age?
Started hitting plastic golf balls into a cardboard box when I was a toddler; then playing at the golf course with my uncles around 3, then entered my first
golf tournament at 4 years old. My dad and three uncles made a foursome and eventually I kicked my dad out of the foursome and became the permanent golfer in that group.

Do you set goals?
Big into data collection/working on the inputs versus outputs. I have a Foresight monitor for data and I also use Decade to track my data and hone in on where I need to focus. All of the data helps me shape my daily practice goals so that I’m intentional about what I’m working on.

What are your 5-year goals?
Become a top ranked college D-1 golfer.
What is your biggest achievement in golf?
Honestly, it’s the fact that I was able to keep playing volleyball at a very high level. For the last few years, I was highly encouraged to quit volleyball because it only took time away from golf and there were many points where I strongly considered quitting. But volleyball is the reason why I’m able to excel in golf. It has made me stronger physically and mentally, and the team aspect of volleyball, forging relationships with my guys, is
everything.
What are you working on now?
Driver distance and getting my approach shots closer. Putting is obviously important but I consider putting an every day, must-work-on skill.
