Why UConn: "I chose UConn because I fell in love with the campus right when I stepped on it. I noticed the school pride of being a husky right away and I knew that was something brought me in. I also felt a connection with Margaret Rodriguez head coach and I feel as if that's very important because I am spending almost all my time with my coaches so that was important to me to trust them and that's just how it felt. UConn has such a strong rigorous academic history and to top it off women's soccer program history and I'm so glad I get to be a part of it now. I'm excited to finally get to join the program and husky nation finally getting to call myself a husky is an absolute honor".
