How did your experience as a Golden Knight shape you?
“My coaches always reminded us that we were ‘stronger than you think you are.’ I am super lucky to have had all my teammates and a coaching staff that I will forever cherish. I now work for Nike, Inc., and sports are part of my daily habit. Ever since leaving Saint Rose, I did one more year of basketball in the UK, and then I swapped to running. I ran my first marathon in 2017 in Berlin, and am currently training for New York City 2019 (which she successfully completed by press time). I have done a half Ironman in Mallorca.”
