Why did you choose Rutgers? “I chose Rutgers University for many reasons. I want to be part of a growing women’s lacrosse program with a well-respected, longtime coach. I also want to be at a Big 10 school in the northeast – quick flight from Florida and close to extended family and friends. And I want to be at a top academic institution. Rutgers checks everything off my list.”
Thank You: “I would like to thank my coaches – the ones from the early days for promoting the girls’ game in South Florida to my current travel and high school coaches for giving me a platform to play in front of the right people at the right times. Without my travel program and coaches who have worked so hard to develop me as a player and a person, my dream of playing D1 lacrosse at my #1 college would not have been possible. Thanks to my teammates for making me better and being my FAMILY. And lastly, my parents and sister for ALL their relentless support through the years. They have sacrificed a lot for me and helped make this all possible.”
