Hometown: Amherst, N.H.
High School: St. Mark's School
Club Team: New England Regional Team - Futures
Athletic Accomplishments: Competed in field hockey and crew at St. Mark's School … Four-year varsity starter … Was the team's captain and top scorer in 2020 … Named First Team All-ISL and First Team All-State N.H. … Also competed for the Cape Ann Field Hockey Club and the New England Regional Team - Futures (2017-19) ...

Why Brown?: "I chose Brown because of how at home I felt on campus. Everyone was so welcoming: professors, students, athletes, and coaches. The open curriculum also offers stellar academics the opportunity to study topics that I wouldn't be able to study anywhere else and perhaps topics that I don't even know about yet. Brown also has the great artistic resource of RISD right on its doorstep, which would be a fantastic place for an artist to explore. Providence is such a beautiful and happy city, so, even outside of campus, the area is a perfect place to spend time with friends, have fun, and meet new people. Finally, the combination of high-level academics and great athletics in the Ivy League offers a great challenge and new experience I am eager to take on."
