Meet the Owner 

My life long dream of becoming a Track and Field Olympian came to an end. Once I was admitted into Illinois State University, I had to decide between my education and my athletic career. Since the major required a major time commitment and follow through I ended up choosing my academics since that would take me further than my athletic career. Meanwhile I was actively being recruited for D2 and D3 schools, it just wasn’t where I wanted to go.

Which forced me to figure out who I was outside of my sport and at the time I had no clue. During this transition period no one warned me about the internal battles that soon followed. It took years of rediscovering what my interests and other passions were, creating other ways to occupy my time, a new normal.

With time I slowly came out of a hole where I felt so incomplete without my sport. Staying in school really helped since I wasn’t ready for the real world. I eventually earned my masters degree in Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (Sports Psychology). During that time I cultivated Athlete Advocate because I knew I wasn’t the only athlete that has ever struggled with retiring from their sport. Now I have found that my purpose is to serve my fellow athletes in realizing their purpose beyond athletics, so they don't have to feel alone or lost on their path but instead feel guided and supported along their journey!
