A Fellow with a Dream - PGA SHOW RECAP

As I stepped off the plane in Orlando, Florida, I felt a surge of anticipation, knowing my first PGA Show would be a defining moment in my journey. Attending my first PGA Show was more than just a professional milestone—it was a moment that left me feeling empowered and inspired.

Golf has been a part of my life since I was eight years old, shaping me into the person I am today. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to meet incredible people and build a network of supporters who have cheered me on through every stage of my journey. Now, as a PGA WORKS Fellow with the Sun Country Section, I reflect on how far I’ve come, and I can’t help but feel proud of the young girl who dreamed of making her mark on this game.

Emily, Lexis, and I! I love you amazing ladies (:

One of the most valuable lessons I took away from the PGA Show is this: if no one else roots for your success, be your own biggest cheerleader. Not everyone is meant to stay on your journey, and that’s okay—but for those who do, make sure they know how much they mean to you.

I am deeply grateful for every high and low I’ve experienced in the golf industry. Each challenge has strengthened my resilience and taught me what it takes to lead with intention and spark change in spaces where comfort can too easily become the status quo. Without those moments of discomfort, I wouldn’t have grown into the person I am today.

To those who have been part of my journey—thank you. You know who you are, and your unwavering support means everything to me. To those who have challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, thank you for believing in my potential even when I doubted myself. Your encouragement has had a lasting impact.

As I reflect on this chapter, I know my journey is just beginning. I’m filled with gratitude for the opportunities ahead and for the people who continue to walk this path with me. Being a PGA WORKS Fellow is an honor, and I am excited to see where this road leads.

The future is bright for those who believe, and I believe wholeheartedly.
