    What she loves about the NWPA:
    I love the camaraderie and community that this tour has created. We have the best women players competing — all setting great examples of excellence in our sport: a high level of play and great sportsmanship. These women are not just here to compete- they are here to grow their game and to help other women on the tour grow as well. Year over year, we have seen the NWPA expand its reach with sold out stops, new venue partnerships, and increased membership.

     It is so rewarding to be part of the board and work alongside a dedicated team who share a common goal of promoting and advancing women’s competitive cue sports.

    What she loves about the NWPA:
    The NWPA has a consistent presence in the pool community. Since the start of my pool journey, one of my goals was to become a member and participate in the tour stops.

    As time progressed, I befriended and/or got acquainted with many amazing women who are part of the tour. The diverse group of ladies lead equally diverse lives. I am constantly inspired. With that, I am honored to be a part of the NWPA board.

    Cheers to the future!
