Why Michigan
"Growing up in a family that was passionate about Michigan, the love for the University was instilled in me at a young age. I grew up singing the fight song and watching football games. I fell in love with the traditions, academics, athletics, and opportunities Michigan has to offer."
Why Water Polo
"I started playing when I was fourteen years old. I was a swimmer all my life, and while I loved it, I missed certain aspects of a team sport. I found water polo and it was a combination of everything I loved about sports. I've been hooked ever since."
