E-mail Address: mls354@case.edu
What is one of the greatest aspects of being involved in athletics?
The greatest aspect of being involved in athletics is the difference we make for our student athletes and the shared passion in our athletic department. Being a college athlete directly impacted my core values and character, and it is rewarding to have a career that I can now pass on what I have learned to the student athletes at our university.
Most memorable sporting event attended?
Coaching at my first NCAA D3 Swimming and Diving championships in 2022 was extremely special to me. I had a freshman diver make the top 8 on three meter and become an All-American. I felt more pride in helping her achieve that than any athletic achievement I had accomplished.
Favorite CABMA memory?
My first time at the CABMA convention in 2023 was extremely memorable. It started with Top Golf and leading up to the convention I had my husband take me to the driving range so that I wouldn't embarrass myself. Turns out the CABMA community does not particularly care if I can golf and everyone was extremely welcoming at the event. Meeting so many people that share similar passions at my first convention was amazing.
What's the most important thing the CABMA membership should know about you?
Friends and family are the most important thing to me. I have a husband that has supported and encouraged my career goals and is almost as passionate about CWRU athletics as I am.
What are you looking forward to this academic year?
I am looking forward to learning and connecting with the CABMA community while being part of the CABMA MentorMe program.
