As a young athlete, she was a district-ranked tennis player and also traveled around the country playing competitive hockey, basketball and field hockey. She was named an All-American and all state lacrosse and field hockey athlete in high school and continued on to play Division 1 lacrosse at Dartmouth College, from which she graduated with a B.A. in Psychology in 2004.
