Raised in South Florida, Hazlett was introduced to fishing at an early age, and has traveled the world. After fishing her first tournament, Hazlett knew she wanted to be involved in boating and fishing for the rest of her life. She started working on Sportfish boats traveling all around. She soon then found her passion in running tournaments, heading up Skip’s Tournaments in Abaco, Bahamas, as well as other South Florida events, including her own ladies only Sailfish Sweethearts sailfish tournament in Palm Beach.
