On Choosing Penn State:

“I chose Penn State because I knew that it was easily the best place for me to be able to develop into the student, athlete, and person that I aspire to be. From an academic standpoint, Penn State has an amazing science department and I know that they will prepare me for whatever I decide to do with my career. Penn State's athletic prowess made my decision easy, but more importantly, Penn State Swimming and Diving has an amazing team culture and the second I saw it for myself I knew that I wanted to be a part of it. I cannot wait to be a part of the Penn State family!”
