I initially came to ACU as a transfer student athlete where I finished out my Kinesiology degree while on the softball team. From there, what I thought would be two years in Abilene, turned into five. I was blessed with the opportunity to continue my education as a masters student in the Communication department. During this time, I was a graduate assistant coach for the softball team at ACU and a graduate assistant teacher in the Communication department.
Wearing many hats throughout this time equipped me with various skills and opportunities. After graduation I will be moving into the Athletics office here at ACU to fulfill an internship as an Academic Coach. This role will have me working directly with student athletes to help them in their studies, scheduling classes, and advising them academically. Alongside of this, I will have the chance to learn the business and budgeting side of the athletics department.
I am excited to use what I have learned not only in my sports background but with my masters! I have met some amazing people along the way, many of whom will be lifelong relationships. The lessons and skills I have acquired over my time here are invaluable and I have been truly blessed by it all. Abilene Christian truly is a special place, a place that I will carry with me wherever I go.
