What will you major in/study? “I am very interested in studying romance languages and learning about other cultures.”
Why did you choose this school? “I chose Stanford for many, many reasons. It is the highest academic school in the country, and it is consistently ranked extremely high in the lacrosse rankings. It is the absolute perfect balance between academics and athletics. Not to mention, the campus is stunning. Also, the coaching staff was a huge pull for me, being from the East Coast. I have not had much exposure to California and what the West Coast has to offer. I cannot wait to be in warm weather year round!”
People to thank: “First, I would like to thank my mom and dad who have have dealt with flying across the country to campus after campus with me. I cannot imagine where I would be without both of you and you made the recruiting process much less stressful. I would also like to thank my club coach, Lisa Lindley, for always having faith in me and supporting me throughout the process.
“However, the one person who has impacted me most as a lacrosse player and a person is my older sister, Nicole. She and I have always been competitive with each other; in fact she’s the girl who taught me to compete. She is the first one on the field and the last one off it, and I admire her work ethic and talent. She pushes me to be the best lacrosse player I can be and I cannot thank her enough. I’m so excited to see what she will do on the field at UNC!”
Other schools considered: UNC, Princeton, Duke, and Dartmouth
