About Me……

o I am a 21 year old Junior at the University of South Dakota majoring in Kinesiology and Sports Fitness with an emphasis in Exercise Science and a coaching minor.

o I was born in Yankton, South Dakota which is about 26 miles away from Vermillion so I didn’t take a very long journey to college.

o I am the middle child in my family, I have a very old brother Mike (36), and a sister who is closer in age Rachael (18).

o I also have my mom Karen and my dad Mike who are very supportive in my life.

o Another little fact is that my family owns a sport store in Yankton called Royal Sport Shop so if you ever make your way to Yankton, South Dakota check us out!

Professional Goals I have many goals

in life but for my professional goals the thing I want to pursue the most after graduating college would to become an athletic trainer on the college level.

Otherwise I would like to coach a high school team in either Basketball or Track and Field.

In 10 years………

I would like to have a stable job working at a highly know athletic college being the head trainer or on my way to being the head of the athletic training department

In 10 years I would like to have a family or be on my way to starting one.

I would also like to be an all around good person and be prepared for anything that comes my way in 10 years.

Something unknown about me….

I started running Varsity Track in 7th grade only one other person was moved up with me.

I hold 5 records at the Yankton High School, that is the most any track athlete has held there.

I only jumped 3 times in High School but when recruited for college they told me I would become a jumper.

In college I have transitioned into being a jumper and am the 2010 Great West Outdoor Track and Field Champion in the long jump.

Throughout college I have made many friends and have gotten to enjoy a lot of opportunities
