The Lake St. Louis Water Ski Club has been an integral part of my life since 2002— the summer I joined junior line. I love spending my summers on the lake, taking a ski run every chance I get. I officially moved back to Lake St. Louis in 2022 because I love this community and all it has to offer. Along with ski club, I participate in the LSLCA golf and cornhole leagues. Now, in my 20th year with the ski club, I look forward to taking on a bigger role and giving back to the club and community that mean so much to me.
