I play Division I golf at UC Santa Barbara in the Big West Conference where I am currently a junior studying economics and accounting. I have recorded two top ten finishes in the 2017 season and earned conference player of the month honors. I have competed in two USGA Amateur Championships: in 2014 at Atlanta Athletic Club and in 2016 at Oakland Hills. I attended Marina High School in Huntington Beach, CA, where I was a four year letter winner and named the league MVP.
I have an extensive background in junior golf. I have competed in countless national junior golf events with the AJGA and other tours. I also have experience coaching junior golfers; for three summers I instructed junior golf clinics at my local golf course.
When I am not studying or traveling to college tournaments, I work for the Southern California PGA Junior Tour running golf tournaments of all levels for both girls and boys. This has allowed me to learn a great deal more about junior golf and the college recruiting process. With my experience working at SCPGA and playing college golf, I have an extensive knowledge about what it takes to be a successful golfer. I can't wait to share my experience and help junior golfers reach new levels!
