Biography

She attended Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury and competed for the track and field team, specializing in the pole vault. She graduated in 2010 and then attended Central Connecticut State University, where she continued to compete in track and field. She was a member of the Central Connecticut State team for two seasons and set records in the indoor and outdoor pole vault, both of which still stood as of 2024.
