Quote:"I chose Emory because it was a perfect fit. I wanted to play for a competitive tennis school while receiving an outstanding education. Also, I wanted to sing a cappella as well as play tennis, something I did in high school. The Goizueta Business School was also an attraction because I am hoping to be a business major."
