Hello all,

My name in Francesca Shipe, I am a life-long learner and athlete. I graduated from Clayton High School in 2017, where I played field hockey, basketball, and softball, earning 12 varsity letters. I went onto obtain my Bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in sports management and criminology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. During my four years, I was a member of the women's basketball and softball team, while maintaining a 3.1 GPA. Directly after, I became a graduate assistant coach for the Rutgers-Newark women's basketball team while pursuing an English Masters degree with an overall GPA of 3.8.
