In their own words…
 
What is your favorite memory as a UAA employee?
My favorite memory each semester is attending Commencement ceremonies and watching our amazing student-athletes walk across that stage. Their pure joy, excitement and smile manifests all their hard work the past years and knowing their future is bright brings me excitement. Celebrating this moment with them and reflecting on their growth over the years, will always be my favorite.
 
What do you like to do “off the field”?
Go to musicals, attend sporting events, enjoy Disney theme parks, read for fun, research student-athlete development, volunteer in the community, spend time at the beach, visit family, attend Major League Baseball games, travel
