2025 (Freshman)

Why Millersville: I chose Millersville University because it offered the perfect balance of academics and athletics. I was drawn to the smaller class sizes and supportive campus environment. The professors are passionate and truly care about student success. From a soccer perspective, Millersville University stood out because of the competitive soccer program and team culture. The coaches made me feel welcomed and valued from the very beginning. I saw a program where I can grow not just as an athlete but as a leader. Millersville University is a place where I can grow on and off the field.

Pre-match ritual: I always do a prayer before I cross the line going onto the field. It will be different every time, but I never not do it. I also put my left shin guard on first before my right.
