Location: Anthem, Arizona, USA

Home Course Name: Fountain Park, Fountain Hills, AZ & Buffalo Ridge

Club Affiliations: Arizona Disc Golf Club, SoCal Disc Golf Club, Las Vegas Disc Golf Club, San Diego Aces, La Mirada Disc Golf Club

Favorite Disc & Putter: Star Wraith/Star Dart

Favorite Course Played:  Waller Pines, Santa Maria, CA

Most Memorable Moment: Playing in Florida at the La Vie en Rose doubles in a downpour…and the course was a swamp. Really. There were probably alligators.

Advice:  Concentrate on learning a smooth throw and don’t focus on getting distance. Distance will come with good technique.

Achievements: Winning The 2011 Memorial and the 2011 Gentleman’s Club Challenge in Advanced Women. I have been competing in men’s divisions locally and cashed in Intermediate Men during the 2011 Fountain Hills Thrills.

Ultimate goal – I hope to get a top finish at USWDGC 2011 and a top finish at Am Worlds 2012, ultimately I would like to be a top female touring pro. My goal for 2011 is to get my rating above 860.

If I were a disc what would I be and why: I would be a putter because they are the most versatile disc and can be used for anything! Specifically a metal flake dart because its so pretty!

Fun Facts: I love to dye my own discs! Its very therapeutic

Favorite Disc: R-Pro Boss

Favorite Course Played: Waller Park, Santa Maria, CA

Most Memorable Moment: Hitting my first ace at the first tournament I ever played in, the 2010 Montiel Ice Bowl in San Marcos, Ca.

Advice: Pick up tips and learn from any and all people willing to give you advice, but remember that to everyone their own. We all have different styles of play and you should always play to your strengths, not your competitors

Goals: To work on my putting. Goal is to get through a round with 18 putts or less

If I were a disc, what would I be and why: R-Pro Boss – Like me, the boss isn’t always the best disc for the shot, but sometimes magic happens and you wonder why you ever doubted it
