It has been a bizarre couple of years. Two years ago, if you told me that I'd be a Covers Experts handicapper, I'd have told you to put down the crack pipe. I would have said the same thing if you told me that the whole world would be going around wearing masks. Yet, it happened. I'm sure happy to be here.

A little about me: I grew up in a competitive sports house, the only female in a family of older brothers. I learned to battle them and hold my own. Often, more than that. Now, I'm the mother of two teenage boys, each playing sports at an elite level. I am married to a competitive husband. Once again, the only female. Even our dog is male. Our household is one big competition and I love it. Ping-pong, board games, cards, football pools, swim races. Name the game and I'm the favorite. I've worked behind the scenes, doing research, for some of the biggest names in the sports handicapping industry. I've also discretely dabbled in sports-betting, very small stakes, over the years. My one guilty pleasure. Now, with it becoming mainstream and 100% legal, I'm excited to throw my hat into the ring against the best in the business.

I look at many factors when breaking down my games but ultimately, I try and keep things simple. At the end of the day, this is about winning. No need to complicate things more than necessary.

You'll find that I'm humble. I accept that this is a difficult game and there will be days when my best effort won't get the job done. I'm here because I believe that I can win though. Quietly confident. Hopefully, Lady Luck will smile on us all this summer.
