PERSONAL: Daughter of Pat and Kari Hickey... Chose Western because, "I love the size of the campus and everyone around. It is also unique in that I can achieve my dream of becoming a nurse while playing at a high level of volleyball! I felt at home right away when I was on campus and am excited to be a part of the Leatherneck volleyball family!"
