Personal
Why did you choose UW-Eau Claire?

"I chose UWEC because I loved the environment and culture of the school. I love how inclusive and nice everyone here is. The campus is absolutely beautiful and it has always felt like home away from home. Both of my parents came here, and my mom played for the Coach Yengo same as I am right now. It feels as though I'm carrying on her legacy and UWEC is giving me the opportunity to build a legacy of my own!"

Why did you choose to play Division III?

"I knew I wanted to play collegiate soccer since I was little, but I also have always had a big focus on my grades. Playing DIII soccer gives me the opportunity to play the game at a higher level while also being able to put my studies first. DIII sports not only set you up for success in that sport, but also in life after college."

Who is your role model/mentor? Why are they important to you?

"My biggest role model has always been my mom. She has taught me almost everything I know. She has shown me how to never give up and to always give everything I do 120% effort. No matter how hard times got, she never gave up and she always found a way to keep fighting, and she has inspired me to do the same. She has always been one of my biggest supporters and always pushed me to do my best, but also would be there for me when I needed her most. Each and every day she inspires me to work harder and be the best version of myself."
