Q: When making your final decision to attend Boston College, what was the main reason for your choice?
"What I liked most about BC is that it was known for a commitment to both strong athletics and academics. I also liked the size of the school as well as the location right outside of Boston."
Q: What do you hope to get out of your experience at Boston College?
"I hope that by the time I graduate, I can take all the experiences I have gained in those 4 years and use them for the betterment of my future."
Q: What makes volleyball such an appealing game to play?

Q: What is your greatest athletic moment? Why?
