Why Yale? “I chose Yale for many reasons.  First off, the people of course.  More specifically, the softball team and the coaches.  These are some of the best people I have ever met, and I’m really looking forward to growing my relationship with them during my time at Yale.  Another reason is that Yale has a lot to offer academically, and academics have always been a priority for me from a very young age.  Also, I am constantly in awe of the intricate architecture the school has to offer, and I look forward to being able to see it every day for the next four years.  It is a huge honor to be able to continue my education, continue my softball career, and to represent my hometown by joining the Yale family.”

What do you hope to achieve at Yale? “I am looking forward to giving my all for Yale Softball and leaving it all out on the field.  I am very excited to become a part of the team, and I hope that we can all function together as one giant family. The biggest goal I have is to win an Ivy League championship with the team, and I will do anything and everything to help us get there.”
