I am honored to be a part of the 2018 class of inductees being elected into the North Penn Athletic Hall of Fame. My athletic career began at a very young age on a Little League Baseball Field in Hatfield. At one point in my athletic career, I was participating in five sports, Field Hockey, Basketball, Softball, Soccer, and Swimming. At North Penn High School, I earned 7 varsity letters, 2 Field Hockey (C0-Captain), 3 Basketball, and 2 Softball (Co-Captain).

Field Hockey 1988-1990

In 1989 we placed 3^rd in the league. My most memorable moment in Field Hockey was in 1990 against Council Rock, when we upset them 1-0. I scored off a broken corner midway through the second half to get the victory. I was awarded Most Valuable Player and First Team All-League that season.  I played in the Philadelphia All-Star Field Hockey Classic to end my high school hockey career.

Basketball 1989-1991

I earned my first varsity letter as a sophomore. As a junior, I was a part of the first NP Girls Basketball Team (1989/90) to make District Semifinals, first time to District Finals at Villanova (DuPont Pavilion) and most wins in a season. I was Second Team All-League and received Most Improved Player Award. In 1991 we ended the regular season undefeated with a 24-0 record. Never before has the North Penn Girls’ Basketball team ended its regular season undefeated. We were Colonial Division Champs. Two years in a row (1990/1991), the Maidens were the District Class AAAA Second Place Team. For two consecutive years, we won the West Chester of Columbus Holiday Tournament. I was nominated for First Team SOL Basketball Tournament Unanimous Selection and Knights of Columbus Basketball Tournament MVP. The team averaged 76 points game and 2,200 total points over the season. I received the Senior Year Award at the end of the season.

Softball 1989-1991

In 1990 the girls’ softball team was Suburban One League Champs finishing the season with a 22-4 record. We were fortunate enough to advance to the District and State Tournament that season. I was second Team All-League. In 1991 we clinched the Suburban One title and placed second in the District One Tournament, ended the season with an impressive 22-5 record. Unfortunately, I suffered a knee injury (ACL), in a district playoff game and was unable to participate in the state tournament. I was Co-Captain (1991) and made 1^st Team Suburban One All League Outfielder.

I also received a few other awards, in 1990 I was awarded the North Penn Athletic Department award to an Outstanding Junior Class Athlete and in 1991, the Genuardi Sports Award for the Most Outstanding Senior Female Athlete.

After High School I attended East Stroudsburg University where I earned my BS in Movement Studies and Exercise Science. I began my coaching career (1996-2000) at the Academy of Notre Dame de Namur, a private school in Villanova Pa. I was the Assistant Field Hockey Coach and Varsity Softball

Coach. I received my Master’s Degree from Eastern University in School Counseling, 2001. I began working for North Penn High School as a School Counselor in September, 2001. I continued my coaching career at North Penn High School as assistant Field Hockey and Softball Coach (2001-2003).

I ended my coaching career to start a family. I live in Harleysville, PA with my husband, Mark and two daughters, Kayla and Victoria.

I would like to personally thank Coach Joan Moser, Coach Jim Crawford, and Doc Ryan for their motivation and support throughout my high school career. Congratulation to all the 2018 inductees!
