Who / What Got You Started in Bowling?
My dad got me into bowling at a young age and now he’s my biggest supporter!
What Do You Love About the Sport?
I love being able to do it year round and being able to travel to new places. I’ve met lifelong friends in this sport and I’m so thankful for that. I get to bowl with my family and have been able to compete with my dad.I love that it’s such an inclusive sport and it’s a lifetime sport!
Favorite Bowling Memory
I’ve had so many. Two of my favorites are leading junior gold when I was 16 for all 3 days of qualifying, and a few years ago in USBC nationals my partner Haley and I made a run to finish in the top as two girls! We finished 10th as two girls in a male dominated tournament, we even bowled great again this year and are up in the top again.
Who is Your Favorite Bowler?
Liz Johnson and Liz Kuhlkin! Both amazing bowlers and people.

FAVORITE COOLWICK PRODUCTs
This is my favorite because it’s my design and it was exactly what I envisioned. I love the excuses jersey everyone in bowling can relate to the “excuses”.
