This dog mom, to Duke Kaboom the Cavapoo, loves partaking in Ninja Warrior competitions and any athletic activity you throw her way!
Where are you from? Tell us about you!
“I was born, raised, and recently bought my first home in Taunton, Massachusetts. I went to Saint Anselm College, where I played on their Division 2 softball team (go Hawks!), and went on to receive my Master’s degree from Arkansas State University. Athletics have always been a huge part of my life and I will always be grateful for the opportunities I’ve had so far.”
What brings you to Jett Foundation?
“Growing up, I never knew what I wanted my career to be. One thing I knew for sure was that I always wanted to help others and make an impact on their lives! My experience working for a small nonprofit college in the ResLife and Recreation departments made me fall in love with this type of work. Now, I feel like I’m living out my childhood dream while being a part of the Jett Foundation team.”
