What will you major in/study? Undecided

Why did you choose Hofstra? “I chose Hofstra because ever since I was a kid I knew that if I ever got the opportunity to attend, I knew it would help me mature into the best student and the best athlete I could ever be. The lacrosse team and coaches instantly made me feel like I was already apart of the Pride family. The skill of Hofstra’s lacrosse team had a significant impact on my decision, I have always wanted to attend a school where winning a National Championship is a possibility.”

What is your HS team’s outlook for the season? “Our post graduate team is looking to win the PG New Port cup which hosts Navy Prep, Army Prep and Bridgton Academy. After losing our title last year we couldn’t be more hungry.”

Thank you: “My Parents most of all for supporting me every step of the way. My coaches for always testing me and encouraging me to break through barriers in the game of lacrosse but also in becoming a better person.”
