Member Relations
A first-class golf experience starts with meaningful connections. Building strong relationships with members is at the heart of what I do—through genuine hospitality, consistent communication, and a visible presence on the course and around the club. From remembering names to creating programming that brings members and the professional staff together, I aim to foster a welcoming, service-driven environment every day.

Member Trips
Organizing member travel experiences is one of the most rewarding parts of my role. I’ve had the opportunity to plan and lead multiple destination golf trips, handling all logistics—from travel arrangements and budgeting to tee times and daily itineraries—so members can simply show up, relax, and enjoy the experience.
In 2022, I took a group of nine to Tennessee, including myself, another professional, and seven members from Blue Mound Golf & CC, Green Bay CC, and Milwaukee CC. The trip fostered new friendships, and the group has continued the tradition with two additional trips since. I’ve also led groups to Sand Valley and Scottsdale, Arizona, providing members with opportunities to play world-class golf, connect with one another, and create unforgettable memories.
These trips create lasting memories and strengthen the sense of community within the membership.
GBCC vs. MCC Interclub
Working alongside the Director of Events at Green Bay Country Club, I helped plan and execute a GBCC vs. Milwaukee CC Interclub Match, bringing together 30 members and two professionals for a day of friendly competition. We coordinated every detail—from pairings and match formats to food & beverage and prize presentation—to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for all involved. The event fostered camaraderie through spirited play while strengthening relationships across clubs. Experiences like this align directly with my goal of creating meaningful member engagement through well-run, memorable programming. Events that balance competition and connection help build a strong, vibrant club culture.
Titleist Women’s Initiative
I played a key role in organizing and executing the Titleist Women’s Initiative in Kohler, WI—an exclusive, one-day experience hosted by Team Titleist, regional reps, and female professionals from the Milwaukee area. The complimentary event featured a curated Titleist tee gift package, group instruction, product demonstrations (including a golf ball aerodynamic showcase and Vokey wedge testing), a 9-hole competition on The Baths, and full hospitality throughout the day. I promoted and recruited participants from both Blue Mound and Green Bay, helping to ensure strong turnout and meaningful engagement. I also volunteered as part of the instructional team, leading segments of the group breakout sessions. This event served as a unique amenity for the women of Blue Mound, strengthening member relationships through an elevated, memorable golf experience.
Playing Alongside Members
I enjoy participating in Pro-Am WPGA Section events and the Tournament of Champions hosted by the Milwaukee Women’s District Golf Association. This special event pairs a professional with their club champion and runner-up in a three-person team format, competing for team and individual honors. In 2023, our group had a standout performance—taking home three out of four available awards—while sharing a memorable and fun experience together. Events like this not only showcase the talent within our membership but also allow me to build stronger, more personal connections with players through shared competition and camaraderie.
