WHY DID YOU CHOOSE DUKE? “Ever since I set foot on campus, I have felt support from the Duke community. The connection I have with my coaches and the players is something that can help me grow into the player I desire to be. Also, to me, Duke has the best balance between athletics and academics. I can achieve an advanced education while playing competitive hockey in the ACC. There is no other place I would rather be.”
ANYONE YOU WOULD LIKE TO THANK? “I would like to thank my father. I am lucky to have a dad that loves field hockey as much as I do. He always supports me, even after bad games, and his presence on the sidelines and off the field has helped me become the player I am today.”
