I played college golf for Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. I medaled in several tournaments over my four years, and we were Conference Champions my junior and senior years. I was also a NCAA Academic All-American. By the way, I majored in Early Childhood Education and hold a bachelors and masters degree in Education. During college, my summer job was coordinating the Gateway PGA Junior Tournament Series in the greater St Louis area.
Before turning professional, I was the Club Champion at Norwood Country Club for two years, and was very involved in the St Louis Womens District Golf Association. I won the Invitational Tournament twice, the 3-Day Medal Tournament once and served as the Rules Chairperson for two years. I qualified twice for the U.S. Womens Amatuer.In 1993, I joined the LPGA T&CP and began giving golf lessons at Golfport of Maryland Heights (then known as Creve Coeur Recreation Complex). I have been a Class A professional for 9 years. During my years in the LPGA
T&CP, I have completed many education and service opportunities. Most recently I am serving as the Chair of the Nominating Committee for the Midwest Section of the LPGA T&CP, and as a committee member for the LPGA Hall of Fame. During this same timeframe, I have worked at Altair Travel, specializing in golf travel, as well as, general leisuretravel.
Most recently, I became the Assistant Golf Coach for the Parkway West High School Golf Program. The girls season is in the fall and boys in the spring. It is very rewarding to be involved with young adults on these teams. I enjoy teaching golf and having the opportunity to connect with students, and facilitate improving their golf game. I approach each student as an individual, and develop a learning plan, based on their needs and goals. Fromprivate lessons, to small groups, to clinics, I look forward to seeing you on my lesson tee soon!!
