Why St. Mary's?: I chose St. Mary's because it brings together two things that are very important to me. My education and my athletics. At St. Mary's, I am able to receive an honors college education while playing a sport that has taken up so much of my life. The Division III lifestyle allows for me many more opportunities to grow and become a well-rounded person.
Best SMCM Sports Moments: Beating CNU at home to make it into the playoffs (2017) ... Beating Mary Washington twice within one week with a one-goal differential to continue to the CAC championship (2016).
