I would like to thank my previous high school coaches Kate Henwood, Amanda Kammes, and ChristyAnn Morello for coaching me my freshman and sophomore year and helping me develop and get through this process. Lastly, I would like to thank Jenny Duckenfield for helping me with this process and helping me improve over the summer.
