Ambitions in hockey? To win the BIG EAST Tournament at the University of Connecticut this fall and help the team reach the top 10.

Strengths on the field? Belief. I believe we are able to win every time we step on the field. I have complete faith in my teammates and their ability to take care of business.

Why did you choose SU? Syracuse has been my dream school since I was a little girl. I grew up watching Syracuse sports on TV which made me want to one day be a part of it.
