PROfile
I was born in Calgary, Alberta and have lived in Okotoks, Alberta my entire life. I have worked in the golf industry since 2014. At River’s Edge, I was a member of backshop for 2 years before moving into the proshop for three years. I have been at D’Arcy Ranch since 2019 and earned my pro card in 2023. At 24 years old, my career is just starting and I am excited for what the future holds.
