After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1984, where she was a member of the first women’s golf team and a 4 year starter on the Women’s basketball team, she played 5 years on The Futures Golf Tour.

I have been a PGA member since 1989 and have been teaching and coaching golf throughout that time. My experience with teaching and coaching has been at Private Clubs, Resorts (United States & International), and Golf Schools. I teach various age ranges & levels from beginners, to tour players and believe that with good coaching, anyone can play this great game of golf.
