Why UConn: "I chose the University of Connecticut because Coach Mags, Carey, and Vanessa will develop my skills to become an important part of the team. When I first spoke with my coaches I knew that we had a very similar passion for the game, and drive to win. They also stressed the importance of education and to do your best on the field and in the classroom.Â
As I begin my college career at the University of Connecticut I am excited to play in the Big East, a conference full of competitive and skilled teams. I look forward to making an impact and helping our team be successful. I am fortunate to be able to study in one of the top Exercise Science programs".
