Through my experiences with athletics, I have learned so much about crucial life skills like team building, discipline, and determination. I've also learned extensively about myself as I was able to discover my true love for field hockey while out for the entire 2014 season due to a major foot injury, which resulted in surgery. As I'm working to recover and rebuild from this unfortunate injury, I am continuing to work hard in academics as well by taking challenging courses and applying my hard-working personality to all aspects of my life as a student-athlete. Also amidst my injury, my family relocated across the country from Northern California to the Boston area in Massachusetts. My dedication to field hockey has helped motivate me to persevere and recover so I can be better than ever for the 2015 season!
