What will you major in/study? Economics

Why did you choose Amherst? “I went up to Amherst and Coach Jon Thompson was just a really great guy. They’ve got a good thing going there at Amherst. It’s a program on the rise and, of course, the academics are phenomenal. I knew it was definitely a place I could see myself going.”

Outlook for your High School team next season? “I don’t want to make any rash predictions, but I’m definitely positive about next year.”
