Why I Chose Clemson:

  • I chose Clemson because of the unique opportunity to be a part of the inaugural Women’s Lacrosse season under coach Allison Kwolek, and I am looking forward to continuing to play in the ACC. Aside from the program, the combination of the prestigious academics, beautiful campus, and the incredible support that student-athletes receive made Clemson an easy choice for me.

Fun Fact:

  • In my free time, I work on a variety of visual art projects, including painting, design, and drawing.
