Quote:
"I chose Emory because I wanted to balance competitive volleyball with a high academic school that would challenge me in both areas.  Another reason for my decision was the Emory community. Everyone, from coaches to players to teachers are so kind and sincere.  It seemed like a place where I would want to spend four years."
