About the Marauder 

• Why Millersville: I chose Millersville to achieve my career aspiration of becoming a pediatric physical therapist while also achieving my childhood dream of being a collegiate lacrosse player. 
• Off-the-field hobbies: Photography, reading, writing, painting, watching Netflix, exercising, and spending time with family and friends. 
• Interesting summer job or internship: Head coach for the 2027/2028 Greene Turtle Girl's Club lacrosse team
• Hidden talent: Bridge walks 
• Favorite pro athletes: Kylie Ohlmiller, Taylor Cummings, Kayla Treanor, Michelle Tumolo, Marie McCool, and Lyle Thomson. 
• Favorite series to binge watch: Motherland: For Salem 
• Pregame ritual: I twist my hair into a braid, put on my cleats, and roll my legs while listening to a music group called A Tribe Called Red. Before the draw starts the game, I quickly pray to the Creator, the earth, and the four directions to ask that my team and I have a good game.
