Chose Western because: "Western was such a natural fit for me and my family. The ability to play close to home and having such a great criminology department was a big plus. The coaching staff is incredible and the players were all so welcoming. The campus is a perfect size and you could tell everyone knows each other and are excited to be Leathernecks. The direction the volleyball program is going is something I wanted to be a part of."
