Hockey coach for 5 seasons
I was an assistant youth girls hockey coach for three seasons and was an assistant varsity coach for two seasons. I truly enjoyed being a mentor and fostering a love for hockey and teamwork. Growing up in southern Minnesota with two older brothers who also played hockey, my earliest memories involve running around chilly hockey rinks and learning the game of hockey. Through playing hockey and coaching I found my passion for connecting with people, counseling, and motivating others.
