She's given back to the local game ever since, coaching and officiating for the Nassau-Suffolk PAL Lacrosse League and volunteering with Challenger Lacrosse to help kids of all abilities experience the sport she loves. Her career took her through the Long Island Lacrosse Journal, where she helped oversee social media and assisted with event operations, before she joined USA Lacrosse — first as a Coordinator, then as New England's Regional Manager. Today, she oversees the North Atlantic region, all while staying closely connected to the grassroots game as a youth coach in her local community and club.
