Why Wisconsin?
"I chose Wisconsin because they had amazing academic and athletic programs and it seemed like a place I could really call home. I also fell in love with the team and get along very well with Coach, so I knew coming to Wisconsin would feel like a place I could call home and a place that I could excel at. A bonus was that the campus is gorgeous and it is just a great environment to be in."
