Fall 2023 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My coaches describe me as a 100% all-in team player with excellent game acuity, stick skills, and loads of positive attitude. I am also always happy to ready to help out younger players as they develop their skills. I also strive to be a student-athlete in all senses, both on and off the field through maintaining a high GPA, and being dedicated to self-improvement through learning new skills, meeting and welcoming new people into my life, and seeking out new experiences.
