(On Why You Chose Emory)
"I chose Emory because of its excellence in both academics and volleyball. I wanted a school where athletics and academics were equally valued and Emory offers that. The coaching staff of the volleyball program was another reason I selected Emory. Their dedication and passion for the sport is incomparable to any other coaches I've had."
