I am from Naperville, Illinois and I began hitting plastic clubs around the house at age 3 and real clubs at age 4 at the local golf dome.  I started formal lessons in 2014 at age 5 1/2 and six months later began competing in US Kids Local Tour events.  I played my first US Kids World Championship the following summer of 2015, finishing 14th in Girls 7 & Under.   In 2016 I competed in my second IMG Junior World Championships in Girls 7-8 , also finishing 14th.

Education is highly important to me and I take pride in my academic achievements and love to learn.  When I was in 6th grade I asked my parents if I could go to Florida in the winter to train, because I wanted to pursue a dream of playing on the LPGA.  So I started in the 7th grade at Laurel Springs, an online school that gives me the flexibility I need.


Besides golf, I used to ice skate, play piano, and play tennis.  I took voice lessons and have sung in front of large audiences.  I was good at all of them but eventually I gave those up so I could focus on golf, my education, and reading.  I read all the time. I am never not reading.  I am sometimes in the middle of 2 to 3 books at a time.  I might have one or two I keep in the car and one or two on my desk.  You can find some of the books on my Reading List here.  I read many different genres such as historical fiction and psychological thrillers to name a couple.

I've had five aces.  The first four were in practice rounds with the 2nd and 3rd ones on back-to-back days at different courses.  The 5th one was in competition at the AJGA Junior All-Star Championship.
