Why did you choose Drexel? “I chose Drexel because of everything it has to offer. The coaching staff is absolutely amazing and was so welcoming from the very first phone call I had with them. Coach Jill (Batcheller’s) energy is awesome and the staff is full of positivity. It was such an honor to be invited into their program. Academically, Drexel’s co-op program is exactly what I’m looking for. The campus being in the city of Philadelphia was just a total bonus. Drexel really checked all my boxes and there was no way I could say no.”

Thank you: “I want to thank all my coaches throughout the years (basketball, field hockey, and lacrosse) for helping shape me into the player I am today. I wouldn’t be the same athlete without the encouragement of my coaches, especially Molly Wolf and Michele DeJuliis. I couldn’t ask for a better support system from Ultimate Lacrosse. I’d also like to thank my parents for all they have done for me (like wake up at 5:30 am on a Saturday morning to drive me to a tournament). I couldn’t have done this without them!”
