Memorable Win:

It would have to be my first Professional World Championship title. It was my ultimate goal at the time and one that I had been working on for 3 years. I had a lead for the duration of the event, but I did not let myself think about the win. During the final 9 with 2 holes left and a sizable enough win that it was justifiably mine, the emotions started flooding in. When it was time to take my final putt, I was so overwhelmed joy that as soon as the disc hit the chains, my legs collapsed, I fell to the ground and wept. It still brings tears to my eyes to think about that moment.

Advice:

Take advantage of the wonderful opportunities that disc golf avails you: Travel, meet new people, enjoy beautiful parks and enjoy yourself. If you want to take your game to the top, then set goals, and create a practice regime. When you are practicing, you can be hard on yourself, but when you are competing in an event don’t let the bad shots effect you. Focus on the next shot and only the very next shot that you have to execute. But most of all, enjoy yourself.

Goals:

I currently don't have specific disc golf goals, but I do still have some Frisbee goals. In 2014 I started working diligently on my Double Disc Court skills and I want to work hard enough to be the top Woman's DDC player. This goal is a little subjective as DDC is a pairs event. I also want to improve my freestyle skills enough that I could be competitive in a Freestyle only event (right now I would be happy with middle of the pack). I would also like to break some self-caught flight world records.
