-Creator and instructor for a very successful ‘No-Holer’ Program at Echo Lake Country Club, that has been featured in PGA’s Best Practices, New Jersey Golf Magazine, and GRAA Magazine. This season-long weekly clinic has been running since April 2016 to present and is designed for female members who have little to no golfing experience. It helps introduce the basic fundamentals in a stress-free environment. They not only learn the game, but everything that encompasses their club experience from when they first arrive on property. This includes the bag drop area, locker room procedures, golf shop location and staff meet & greet, how to drive a golf cart, and so much more.

As a PGA/LPGA Professional and female in this industry, my determination to grow the game of golf as a whole is my forefront initiative. To better engage in the encouragement and advancement of my students, mentees, and peers, I am always seeking ways to expand my knowledge and evolve as an instructor, coach, mentor, volunteer, friend, and role model.

Aside from being an instructor and coordinating golf programs in various locations, I am the PGA Women’s Leadership Platform Ambassador for the New Jersey PGA Section. I maintain a working relationship between the PGA on the National level, the NJPGA and the female professionals in the section. Through this I have initiated the NJPGA Women’s Section Championship which started two years ago.

Last season I brought together local female professionals to create the “Jersey Girls Golf Squad” which hosts women’s golf days and corporate clinics, at Rutgers University Golf Course, for women who play in public golf leagues in and around NJ.

I am currently on the LPGA Northeast Section Tournament Committee, NJPGA Teaching & Education Committe, NJPGA Junior Golf Committee, and recently formed the LPGA Northeast Section Events Committee, having already hosted a successful event in May which featured a presentation from 4D Motion Sports.

As part of my Growth of the Game initiatives, I have written and published articles and ‘Best Practices’ featured in PGA Magazine, MET Golf Magazine, Golf Range Magazine, and have a featured article in NJ Golf Magazine’s ‘Instruction Series: Random but Routine’, as well as various contributions to backswing.com. I have also been the featured guest on Cindy Miller & Ted Odorico’s Podcast: “Golf Talk Live: Women of Golf.”
