Why Brown?: “I chose Brown for their academic philosophy. The open curriculum allows us to explore different subjects that we have never had the chance to pursue. As someone who is unsure of which career path I should take, the open curriculum will allow me to try new areas of study, and maybe even discover new passions.”

Biggest Sports Influence: "Kelsie Whitmore has been an inspiration for me for a long time. She was the first female baseball player I had ever heard of and ever since, I have been following her journey. I had the chance to play on the same team as her on the USA Baseball Women’s National Team."
