Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
I chose Liberty University because it was impossible to turn down the opportunity to compete for a university with girls who want to succeed athletically but even more so want to deepen their relationship with Christ. I feel incredibly honored to be a part of this team where I am training and growing with girls I connect the best with.
