She started for UNCG on the field hockey and basketball team and ranked No. 1 in singles on the tennis team. In Field Hockey, she was the most valuable offensive player her senior year and leading scorer her junior year.
In basketball, she participated in the nationals her sophomore year when only a few of the top basketball teams in the United States were selected to participate.
