While growing up, I attended a Catholic grade school (K-8) called St. Mary's Catholic School in Bloomington, WI. I graduated from the public River Ridge High School in 2018. From there, I continued on to the University of Wisconsin-River Falls to receive my undergraduate degree in Health and Physical Education with a minor in Adapted Physical Education. In 2022, I decided I enjoyed learning in this content area so much, so I decided to get my graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-La-Crosse in Physical Education with an emphasis in Adventure and Outdoor Pursuits.
