I chose University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana for three reasons - a great coach, potential teammates and the academic school. It felt great being a student-athlete at a Division I school.
Being a collegiate athlete was the opportunity I needed to take the next step towards improving my skills to make Team USA.
By attending college, I was able to learn life skills needed to survive and function in the real world.
