I’m a helper by nature.

I love my family, friends, and my work. For me, work-life balance isn’t a thing - I give my all to every part of life and give myself grace when I fail in one place or the other. I don’t think it is possible to have it all, but it is possible to give my all day in and day out to build the life I have dreamed about for myself and my family.

I’ve been a teacher for over 10 years and love working with students. My areas of teaching expertise are marketing, sport marketing, and analytics.

I am also a researcher with over 40 scholarly, peer-reviewed articles, a handful of book chapters, and a few more on the way.

I help small businesses create marketing plans and implement social and digital marketing strategies to build their businesses.

I am a certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor, and in what feels like a previous life, I loved working one-on-one to help clients reach their fitness and wellness goals. While I haven’t practiced in a few years, I am passionate about health and fitness and am a runner (with a goal of running a full or half marathon in all 50 states - I am currently at 24!).

I am a writer, a craft beer enthusiast, and a Vikings fan. I love exploring new places and backpacking with my amazing group of friends.

And - most importantly - I am a wife, mother, daughter, and friend and will protect those I love with everything I have.

I believe that in the end, love always win.

Give more. Love more. Ask for nothing. Be grateful for everything.

Life is short - leave it all on the court.
