Discovered disc golf in 1993. 1st tournament, July 2023. 1st placement, Jan 2024. Almost 50 before I landed this opportunity. My 1st year serious about disc golf, so far I started (in order): disc golf checkout at work, Bear Island Putting League, Disc golf thru Boise Parks and Rec, got selected to serve here, 1st experience as TD was Veterans Park Winter Series 2023.
We're all Rec players at heart.

Favorite Course: Lake Walcott State Park
Favorite Disc: Discmania S-Line 168g PD
I have spent my entire life living throughout the state of Idaho. I am a proud BSU Alumni and a die hard Bronco fan. I was introduced to this amazing sport/lifestyle in 2010 while in college and haven’t looked back. In my years playing I have had the opportunity to golf some of the most prestigious courses in the USA from Emporia Country Club at the 2017 Dynamic Discs Open to Tall Firs Disc Golf Course in Monroe, WA. My true passion for this game is helping players of all abilities and skill get better to have more fun on the course.
Goal: To have a collective of Treasure Valley players podium at State Championships!

Proud Mother of three amazing young women... fun Auntie... and soon to be Grandma. I was introduced to disc golf in 2021 by Adam Leathers and quickly fell in love. I am a 1000 rated caddy, ready for anything on the course and I always have snacks! I have only been playing for a couple months, but I am hooked! Please reach out to me if you have any ideas on making the sport more appealing for women. I want everyone to be able to enjoy the sport and feel safe and supported!
