Forrrrrrrre⛳️! ! I’m Kaitlynn Criswell, a First Tee Alumna, who spent 13 years in the First Tee program. I picked up my first golf club with the organization when I was ten years old and went on to play college golf at Minot State University in North Dakota.  I am proud of my degree in Coaching and Criminal Justice and will eventually return to complete my photography minor.

I was born and raised right here in Mesa, Arizona, graduating from Desert Ridge High School. First Tee brought me many opportunities that developed many of the valuable life skills that I carry with me every day.  I am thankful to begin my career working at First Tee-Phoenix, being able to guide youth on their own paths.
