"The USCSA has been the place where I connected with the most people and found all of my closest friends. Coming out of high school I thought my athletic days were over, but instead I was able to compete for the first time in a sport I’ve loved forever. On top of that, getting the chance to lead my own team and be a representative for the student athletes across the nation has taught me so much more about my future and my career choices than my classes ever could.​"

"Having the opportunity to ski in college was the single most influential factor to having success in every other part of my life. The USCSA provided that platform for me; however, being a student representative opened my eyes to the shared vision and values necessary to for the USCSA to succeed. It was then that I truly realized how a ski and snowboard organization could foster the development of teamwork and community."
