From beginner to the felt

I learned poker in 2022, my freshman year at Tulane University. My roommate and I went to Poker Power, a women's poker group on campus, mostly to get involved and meet people. I knew absolutely nothing. I literally Googled "what is poker." But a few sessions in, it clicked, and I was hooked.

From there I started playing small stakes games with friends at the Tulane Poker Club, starting at .25/.50 and working my way up to 5/5 over the years. I had a lot of success there. Along the way I went from a beginner in those clubs to eventually becoming president of both the Tulane Poker Club and Poker Power, the club that taught me the game. Hosting games and teaching other women to play is still one of my favorite parts of my story.

My senior year, I won an online satellite into the Mini Main Event at the Paradise series in the Bahamas. It was my first live tournament ever, and I ran deep, finishing 209th out of 2,031 players while I was still a student. Not long after, I played 5/5 on the Hustler Casino Live stream.

Then in September 2025 I played my first RunGood Poker Series and finished 4th in a live tournament. That week changed everything. I fell in love with tournament poker and decided to focus on it completely.

Since then, I've had a ton of success in tournaments both live and online. I became a RunGood ambassador, picked up my first ring, and put in a lot of online grinding that has really paid off.

Poker has taken me all over the world, and my next stop is a solo trip through Asia in January 2027. Follow along, and come say hi at the tables ♣
