How long have you been involved with CWSFA?
What led you to volunteer?
I got involved with the CWSFA in the summer of 2016 after meeting Patty Harsch and becoming more aware of the organization. I also knew Marsha Smeltzer and of her experience and expertise in athletic administration. I decided CWSFA would be great organization for me to give back to sports and assist others.

When you’re not busy with CWSFA business, what sports are you playing or supporting? What else are you passionate about?
I recently ‘retired’ from collegiate athletics to spend more time with my family. It has been great to watch my kids participate in sports and see the joy they have in participation and the life skills they have developed. I enjoy coaching and have just become the Northridge High School Head Girls Basketball Coach, after assisting for the last two years.
Sport has provided me with wonderfully amazing opportunities and my passion is to give back and help others.

We have had season tickets to CSU Women’s Basketball for 16 years, and I throughly enjoy watching them play, learning even more about the sport, and seeing the players develop over the time they play for CSU. We also have season tickets for CSU football, have had for about 17 years, and enjoy that experience also.
I am very passionate about our family – our daughters and their families and spending time with them whenever possible. Locally, I support the Ensight Skills Center for visual rehabilitation. I also am very much into environmental issues and I recycle almost everything.
I have been part of CWSFA since its inception in 2008. My husband & I supported our youngest daughter in playing for Poudre High School volleyball (Also NORCO Club Volleyball) & basketball and then were very active in the CSU Women’s Basketball Booster Club until it was disbanded. With the creation of the CWSFA, I could continue my support of girls & women participation in sports.

What has been the most rewarding part of your involvement with CWSFA?
The most rewarding aspect of my involvement is to see how our organization has grown over the years. I've also enjoyed seeing how many organizations and individuals we are able to touch through our work; how we've helped athletes to participate and improve their abilities in their chosen sport.

My other activities include working various events for Triple Crown Sports, including fastpitch softball, baseball, basketball and drift car racing. I also work at the Budweiser Events Center, score scholastic aptitude tests and might be seen in costume as a marketer for Liberty Tax!
I played softball for Texas A&M and briefly for a Semi-pro team. Two friends and I started the Texas A&M Women's Soccer team and then I found rugby, my true passion. I played from 1975- 2003, including several international tours. After retirement I managed the Women's West All Star Select Side (one of 7 in the US) from 2004-2008 when USA Rugby changed their National Team selection process and ended the All Star program.
I still support rugby on many levels, and wish the Women's National Team good luck in the World Cup in France this August! I play goalie for various soccer teams, both indoor and outdoor, women's and coed.
I became involved with CWSFA soon after its inception in 2008. I chose to become involved because I enjoyed the other members and wanted to help further our club mission of promoting female involvement in sports.
