WHY PENN STATE
"I knew I wanted to go to Penn State the second I stepped on campus. It had everything I wanted, a beautiful campus, strong academics and a great soccer legacy. I immediately felt a sense of school pride on campus and the family environment Penn State holds makes it unique to the rest. Additionally, the women's soccer program has incredible coaches and players that create a competitive environment and will push me to be the best I can. I loved the emphasis the coaches put on not only being a great player/teammate but an even better person overall. The experiences and skills I will acquire during my time as a student athlete at Penn State will unquestionably prepare me for my future even beyond soccer."
