Athlete Services

Why did you choose your college,  and what did you like most about being a student-athlete there?

As a student-athlete, often times we get recruited because of the player/athlete we are. I chose to go to UW-Whitewater to pursue becoming the best athlete I could possibly be. It was less about my ability, and more of my potential.

How did competing collegiately help prepare you for competing on Team USA?

As a collegiate athlete I learned principles of being an elite level athlete both on and off the court. Being a member of Team USA is a tremendous honor and comes with a big responsibility. At UW-Whitewater, I learned how to prioritize those responsibilities.

How did (or will) going to college prepare you for life?

My college experiences prepared me for the real world. I acquired major life skills in college like time management, working/living with others and balancing social life with major priorities.
