What will you major in/study?: Kinesiology/Exercise Science
Why did you choose this school?: I was very impressed with Uconn’s Kinesiology Department and the Human Performance Lab. The campus is exactly what I was looking for. It is the perfect size and has a great hometown feel. I feel very comfortable with the coaching staff and look forward to working with them. I am excited about the quality of field hockey and the opportunity to be playing for a National Title.

Anyone you would you like to thank: I would like to thank all of the coaches throughout the years for their help and guidance, including Matt Soto, Denise Gobrecht, Rene Sutter and many more.

I’d like to thank my older sister Kylie for dragging me along to field hockey many years ago and my parents for their support and guidance.
