Personal

Why did you choose UW-Eau Claire?

"I chose to go to school at Eau-Claire because I fell in love with the campus it felt like home. My mom is also a UWEC alumni and pushed me to tour the school. Lastly I chose to go here because the volleyball program was competitive and had a great coaching staff."

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

"Jordan Thompson, a volleyball alumni from Cincinnati who played her first Olympic games in Tokyo this year and was an all time rookie performer with one of the best performances. She is inspiring to watch and still stays humble and is one of the most hyped players I have seen play and is always there to support her teammates."

What's the best sports movie/show/series?
