Hi! If you know me, you know I absolutely love rugby, chiropractic and my dog Bear who is now in heaven (probably chilling in a pond).
I was recently invited to play in the LA 7's Rugby Series on the Elite Women side with STARS Rugby 7s. This tournament is a part of the HSBC World 7's Series where many teams from all around the world will come to play. I am very grateful and excited to play and be a part of this tour, allowing me to grow my rugby career, playing with and against some of the best athletes in the sport.
I am a full-time student-athlete at Life West where I am studying to become a doctor of chiropractic, and playing with the Life West Gladiatrix. How amazing is that! I get to have the best of both worlds. However, being in school, studying, training, and playing on the weekends leaves no time for work or any extra income. I am asking for donations that will go towards my flight to LA, tour fees, and accommodations while I will be there for a week to train and play in the tournament. This is such an amazing opportunity for me and I will be so grateful for any help you are able to give.
My rugby career currently is with Life West but began at Life University in 2014. Since then I have played with the American Rugby Pro Training Center, Atlantis in Barbados World 7's, Greenville Grizzlies and my previous tour with STARS 7's was in New York 7's where I was humbled being the team captain and able to play with many talented young women. Rugby 7's, as seen in the Olympics is such a fast-paced and fun sport for all ages and genders.
After the tournament, I will head back to Hayward, CA to finish up my 4th quarter of chiropractic school. In my time at Life West so far, I have learned so much about myself and am looking forward to the future when I can help serve my community, athletes like myself, and everyone in between.
I love and appreciate you reading this far and hope you follow along with my rugby and chiropractic journey! I am hoping to be able to help support aspiring athletes in the future and grow the game I fell in love with.
