ON CHOOSING BUTLER: "I chose Butler because it is a fantastic school and I knew it would be the perfect place to get top tier, personal education while playing for an amazing soccer program. The environment of the program was unlike anything I had seen before and I felt comfortable and at home right away. The Butler Women’s Soccer team competes at a high level and is routinely an elite team, but they also place importance on individual growth as people not just as soccer players."
