Getting Creative

That loneliness on the road has pushed me to get creative with my spare time, so I’m not always thinking about the next tournament or practice session I’ll have. 

Quite frankly, I currently have four jobs. I’ve started a business with a partner, Ground Under Repair Design, using my graphic design degree to help golf courses rebrand their logos. I work in a pro shop. I teach ladies golf clinics on Mondays — which tends to be my favorite day of the week now! Oh yes, and I am a professional golfer too.  

Nebraska taught me this though — they always saw me as more than an athlete.  

What always stood out to me about the Huskers is that everyone there genuinely wanted to see you succeed. 

It doesn’t matter if it’s your coaches, teammates, academic advisors or any other staff member — they all root for you and want to support you. On and off the field, whether you were starting on your team or redshirting. 

I was empowered to do more than golf within the athletic department. I got to collaborate with other students, run multiple events, and get involved on campus. I got to be a part of real change in an athletic department and within a university. 

The lessons I took away from my time at Nebraska not only made me a better golfer, but it made me a better person and businesswoman. 

I learned so much from the Life Skills department and the internships that the Huskers helped facilitate. Now, I’m taking those tools given to me and applying them in the real world, or at least trying to!
