I am currently a sophomore goalie on the Long Island University women’s lacrosse team.  I am from Bayport, New York. I played lacrosse for Bayport-Blue Point from the age of 6 years old, starting at PAL, to 18 years old, finishing high school. I also played travel lacrosse for Long Island Legacy. I seek to strengthen players’ skill and confidence. I am thrilled to be a part of Long Island Jester’s Lacrosse and look forward to the upcoming seasons.
