MY LIFE

You probably know me as a former women's college basketball player from Stanford, and most likely currently see me on ESPN. Here's how I got where I am today. 

​

I was born in the fall of 2005 in the Jersey Shore. I have a wonderful mother and father, a younger brother, and a dog. I grew up always having an interest in sports. I started playing soccer at the age of 3 and started playing other sports like basketball, lacrosse, and other sports non competitively all the way till 4th grade. From then, I decided to play more competitively in soccer and basketball. Although I loved to play the game, but I also loved watching it on TV or even other sports like baseball or football and never stopped watching them either on DVR or YouTube to at least see the highlights. Sports were my life and nothing could change that. During the years of 2020-2024, I attended Red Bank Regional. After the summer of 8th grade, I realized that basketball was the sport for me. My skill set was better at it than soccer by a mile and I had an advantage because I was tall (6'0). I played varsity for 4 years.

Academically, at RBR I was a straight A-student with a 4.0 GPA. Anyway, after each basketball season, in the spring I played AAU with the New Jersey Belles Masonius 2023 team until sophomore year and then played with the 2024's for my last and final year of AAU. At Stanford, I majored in journalism, knowing of my dream/current job and got my masters degree in 2030.

At Stanford, I started all 5 years. 

CHAMPIONSHIPS

- 2 time NCAA women's champion (2026 & 2030)

- 5 time Pac-12 champion (2025-2030)

Academically, I graduated with a 3.7 GPA. 

Once, I was done with my college career and my basketball life, I knew I wanted to express my love to sports to others, and still be a part of the 'sport's world' in some way. Then, I got my dream offer, a job on ESPN, and this is where I am today!
