💚💛 This was a very intentional decision in year one as AD, like I said to many people, we are taking care of home first. Not to mention Jeff made it that much easier of a decision!
NCAA Convention in Phoenix, AZ ✅ Best part? Got to visit my nanny. And look what she was wearing when I showed up! My grandpa passed in June, so this is her first winter alone. Life is a crazy journey, don’t forget what matters most. This woman has supported me through it all!🙏
Thanks
@DetroitPistons
for recognizing WSU Athletics and myself as the fan of the game! But really for giving me major ‘cool mom’ creds with my girls! 🔰
Sport has impacted my life in so many ways personally and professionally. I am so thankful for the women who paved the way and opened doors that made it that much easier to walk through. We lift as we rise!

This month has been a whirlwind serving as chair for the Midwest on the D2 NCAA Women’s Basketball National Committee. Great work to my fellow committee members!
Welcome back Warriors! I hope everyone enjoyed the 1st Warrior Rise seminar, here is a glimpse of how we ended our day!🔰
Remember…
TOGETHER
We collaborate/We learn
We serve/We inspire
We compete/We excel

Serving as the site rep as a member of the NCAA DII WBB Committee at the SAME gym I won a regional 19 years ago, is pretty surreal. What I remember most? My team. I love getting reminders of my WHY. No worries, I’m still repin’ my green shoes today. 😉🔰

I have difficulty expressing my gratitude for this senior class. They embraced the process of change and growth, been with me every step of the way, supported beyond measure. Special group, not sure if I will experience this again in my career.
Thank you seniors.❤️🔰
I’m so lucky to work with some of the best people in college athletics! I’m honored to serve our student-athletes who consistently challenge me to have a growth mindset. It’s time Warriors! 🔰💚💛

It’s been tough. Tough for coaches, tough for administrators and especially tough for student athletes. It’s important to concentrate on what you can control & applaud the small victories. Today was one of those victories in my book, social distancing & all. 👏🏼
