During my first go about at SUNY Brockport I was an all conference and all region athlete during Sophomore and Junior year in college. I have vaulted under many different coaches and clubs such as Warehouse PV down on long island, Rochester Rockback, Apex Vaulting, and now Next Step Vault Club. I plan to take all my experiences and knowledge to the table when running practice.
