Accomplishments

A little info about myself is that I have been involved playing high level basketball since I was 12.

Throughout my Basketball Career I have represented Victoria, Won state titles, Won Gold at Big V Div 2, Got Silver in Youth Champ woman, Won a national title in School Championships as-well as scoring a basketball scholarship at an Nike Sponsored school called Azusa Pacific University, NCAA D2 in The Pack West USA.


However, I did decide to come home, and further my career with the Swoosh (Nike), as my passion originated in just wearing the brand on my feet during basketball. Over the years my passion has grown for the brand even more, being able to work for Nike and represent the brand is an accomplishment within itself for me.
