CHARITY AND COMMUNITY
My volunteer time is spent serving the PGA and the LPGA. I have many roles on the executive committee for the LPGA as I serve as the Vice-President of the Western Section. I am the Vice-President of the SoCal Northern Chapter PGA, and also sit as an independent director for the SoCal Section. I support the LPGA Girls Golf Foundation.
Why I Teach: I love seeing individuals find the best version of themselves through golf instruction. Learning something new and seeing the positive changes in ball flight is so exciting for me to see! Each student learns and processes info differently, so catering my teaching to the student’s preference and style allows me to connect deeper with the student.
