I'm thrilled to be working with fantastic people to guide and support me along the way and be a part of a growing college. I'm eager to help Coach Sam turn the softball program around and support Coach Kean and the soccer team as they embark on a season that already has great success. This year so far has been amazing, and Columbia State has felt like home away from home! Go Chargers!"
