According to me...

I consider myself to be a very complex person. I don't mean complicated, I mean that I have a lot of my own opinions and I am my own person. I am different, to say the least. I think I have changed a lot in the last four years. I have gone to college and played Division I softball where I got the opportunity to travel around the country. I was educated at a University with a top 10 ranked Communications Department. Through my education, I learned to hold my own. In my second year of school, I decided that I wanted to go to law school and become a sports agent. I studied hard, but in the end was offered a great job at a great company, the US Ski & Snowboard Association.

My entire life has revolved around sports. I have been playing volleyball, basketball, softball, skiing, snowboarding, etc. ever since I can remember. Throughout my elementary, middle, and high school days, I always wrote on my future careers plans that I wanted to be a professional athlete. I was always told to be more realistic and the chances of me becoming a professional athlete were slim to none. I worked so hard in sports throughout high school. I decided I wanted to play volleyball in college and was offered to play for the University of Utah in my second year, but I made the softball team in my first instead. I told myself after softball ended that since I could not be in front of the camera playing the sports I loved, then I will be behind the camera, working for the sports I loved. It has been great so far and I can't wait to see what it will become.

Your "According to me..." story was very intriguing, and frankly hits close to home. I too have always participated in sports, and enjoyed competing on the club cycling team at Indiana Univeristy while in college. Athletics are a huge part of my life, expecially the exhilarating sport of snowboarding! I truly envy your new career with the US Ski & Snowboard Association and wish you the best luck.
