It’s always been a dream of mine to play a Division I sport. Lacrosse was definitely an interest from a young age, so I was looking forward to that from the time I first started playing lacrosse. I also grew up watching my older brothers play, so that inspired me to want to play at the next level.

I want to come in on day one and make an impact on the team. I’ve never really sat on the bench, so I want to continue that trend and try to make an impact my freshman year from the day I step on campus.
