Michigan gymnastics will always be a part of who I am and my experiences as a student-athlete have played a significant role in the career path that I chose in intercollegiate athletic administration. In addition, the feeling of being a part of the team that started the 'tradition of excellence' in Michigan gymnastics by going from dead last in the Big Ten my freshman year to winning the championship my senior year is unforgettable!

Those years were filled with continuous growth, challenges, risks and achievement that have made a lasting impression on all members of those teams and the coaching staff as well. More significantly, my closest friends are my former teammates who I shared so many memories, struggles and successes throughout my Michigan experience. The amazing connection and bond that we have as teammates will last a lifetime, despite the years and miles that separate us.

Steve and I welcomed Lauren Alexandra into the world on April 7, 2005. She is our first child and is bringing much joy to our lives. I am an Associate Athletic Director at Harvard University; my husband is an Associate Athletic Director at the University of New Hampshire. (We have very different job responsibilities with the same job title!)
