I played the violin for 13 years and grew up with a passion for writing. I was born in South Bend, Indiana, near Notre Dame. I have grown up being a Notre Dame fan my whole life. South Bend is quite far from any major city, so I grew up spending a lot of time with my family and being creative to entertain myself. Family is important to me. My favorite thing to do is travel with my family. I love tropical locations, so I prefer traveling anywhere near a beach.
I came to Northwood last year to further my academic and athletic career and hopefully be able to play at the Division 1 level. I also love Lake Placid, so the location significantly influenced my decision to come to Northwood. Coming to Northwood was a big move because I left my family for the first time and had to say goodbye to many of my friends back home. Despite the adversity I faced, the people at Northwood helped me settle in very quickly. My first year was amazing, and I enjoyed being a part of the team. This year, I am a senior, so I play more of a leadership role on the team. I love our team atmosphere; our team chemistry allows us to play well on the ice.
After Northwood, I want to go to college to play hockey and study law. I am interested in law because I love debating and the English language. I want to be a corporate lawyer after college, and most importantly, I want to travel the world.
