Bio

I started playing pool when I was four years old. My mom is who originally got me interested in the sport. I started playing around local pool halls and began to progress in skill throughout the years. Over the next three years I started to take pool more serious.

I joined my first junior APA pool league when I was seven years old. Playing APA has brought me closer to many people, some of whom are like family to me to this day. In 2013 I played in my first national event as a SL 3 and finished in second place,then in 2015 I played as a 7 and finished first place.

Hard work and dedication is how I managed to become the skill level that I am now, an 8. Billiards has taught me so many important lessons in life and over time it has become one of my greatest stress relievers. Ever since I started playing pool it has been a dream of mine to compete with the pros. I believe if I keep putting enough time and effort into it, that some day my dream will come true.

In 2017, I moved to Bettendorf, IA and started competing in more tournaments at a higher level. I continued to improve my skillset in pool and I am currently playing as an Advanced Player.
