Why did you choose Elms College?

"I selected Elms for a few reasons. It was close to home for my family to attend soccer games, but far enough away. The atmosphere Elms has created is unbelieveable."

What has been your favorite moment as an athlete so far?

"There is no better feeling than the moments before you lace up your boots before a match."

What is your favorite food?

"My favorite food is grilled salmon paired with beat and goat cheese salad."

Where is your favorite place to travel to and why?

"My favorite place to travel to is the beach because it holds a very special place in my heart."

What are your future plans?

"After graduating from Elms, I plan on attending grad school to complete my Master's degree in Education. After doing so, I hope to teach in the inner city of Springfield. In addition, I would love to coach my high school soccer team."
