Began shooting: I started competition shooting in 2012
My shooting career began at a young age on my family farm in Metter, Ga. It all started when my father put a little Cricket 22 in my hands. Its safe to say that I was hooked from the moment I pulled the trigger. Growing up, most of my shooting was done in the hunting world, quail, ducks, pheasant, and deer. My junior and senior year of high school, I shot on the Bulloch County Shotgun Team with 4H. Around that same time, my father and I became members of the NSCA and we started attending competitions. I graduated in June 2018 from Georgia College with a majoring in Accounting. I have been working at Old Hudson Plantation in the Lake Oconee, Georgia area as an executive assistant helping manage the store and our accounts. I also give lessons as a Level One Instructor and assist in gun fitting. I shoot every chance I get and attend as many shoots as possible. I am blessed to be a part of this industry as a shooter and a ProStaff, and I hope that I can help many more women fall in love with this sport as much as I have.
Primary Disciplines:
Sporting Clays, including Super Sporting. Sub-Gauge events are my favorite disciplines with FITASC a close second!

Gun fit is essential. The best thing you can do is find a gun that fits you then practice, practice, practice. Never be afraid to ask for help, don’t get discouraged when you have an off-day, and make sure to always have fun!
