Ambitions in hockey? To go back and play with the Canadian National team and play abroad eventually. I would also like to keep my involvement in the coaching aspect of field hockey.

Strengths on the field? Vision and dribbling abilities.

Why did you choose SU? My dream was to play and study at a top university which is why I came to Syracuse. "When you have a dream and you really believe, you will find a way."
