High School / Prep Career
Why she chose NC State - "I've always known that I wanted my college experience to be about exploring different thoughts and ideas and becoming more cultured, but I still wanted to maintain that sense of “this is home”. NC State is that perfect mix for me. The university’s richly diverse population of almost 35,000 students from across the globe, coupled with the southern hospitality and rich tradition that surrounds you on campus charmed me, and I've been in love ever since. I'm so blessed in having the opportunity to grow and develop as a person on and off the field over the next four years in such a positive learning environment as NC State, and am incredibly proud to be a member of the Pack."
