A Dream Realized: Partnering with Duke  University

Partnering with Duke University is a dream come true for me. This collaboration is a huge deal for me, both as a company and as a die-hard Duke fan. Ever since I was six or seven, Duke has been a huge part of my life—I grew up going to games with my dad, attended their basketball camps, and I even snuck into Coach K’s office as a kid. I may or may not have “borrowed” a rock from the foundation of the Sebastian Coe Building during construction.

Both my high school and college basketball numbers were 22 because my favorite player was Jay Williams. Later, I was able to briefly mentor former Duke player Harry Giles, which gave me the opportunity to return the favor to my dad and finally take him to a Duke game. Just this past season, at just eight weeks pregnant, I found myself back at Duke for the Duke vs. Syracuse game.

This partnership with Duke isn't just a professional milestone; it's a full-circle moment that ties together my personal and professional love for the Blue Devils. The impact Duke has had on my life is immeasurable, and I am beyond excited to see where this collaboration will take us. The journey from sneaking into Coach K’s office to officially partnering with Duke University is nothing short of surreal. Here's to many more milestones and memories with the Blue Devils!
