DIRECTOR OF CLC ELITE & GIRLS LACROSSE at GILLETTE
My favorite Sports memory/moment/event is…. the overtime victories or upsets of top 5 opponents, but my favorite moments always stemmed from the strides my players took after graduation. My proudest moments came knowing the values and ethics they learned while part of my program were an integral part of their success.
A 1999 Rutgers University graduate, she mentored 39 all-conference and 37 IWLCA All-Region selections.
