PERSONAL

  • Working to create an inclusive experience that allows all students an
    opportunity to find their home at college has become a passion of mine, and
    being able to do that through sports has been a joy. Growing up playing sports
    and being part of a team shaped who I am as a person and allowed me to
    always have a deep sense of belonging and I hope to help provide that feeling
    for students at Marquette.
