- Why did you choose to commit to this college?
I chose Yale University because of its premier academic reputation and outstanding lacrosse program.
- What’s one piece of advice you’d give to someone younger than you, going through the same process?
Study hard from the beginning in high school. Your grades make a difference. Work really hard on the field. It will all pay off.
- What was your favorite part about playing for the FLG lacrosse program?
My favorite part about playing for FLG was working with the best club lacrosse coaches and my awesome teammates who continue to be some of my best friends.
- What peaks your interest outside of school and lacrosse?
I am very interested in the finance industry and enjoy learning about the economics in our country and the world.
- If you were stranded on a deserted island and you can only have one thing, what would it be (you have food and water)?
A good friend with whom I can share the experience.
- If you had to choose one super power to have, what would it be and why?
I would want to be able to fly. I have always thought it would be cool to fly around.
- What are some of your pregame rituals and/or game day superstitions?
I have a pregame warmup that I do before I get out to the field. I then get on the field early and have a shooting warmup prior to our team warmup.

I like to play on a nicely kept short grass field.
- What is your favorite breakfast meal?
Bacon, egg and cheese with chocolate chip pancakes on the side.
- What athlete do you idolize the most?
Derek Jeter. He is a phenomenal athlete who had a long and amazing career and could manage his business on and off the field.
- What is your favorite genre of music?
I like country music.
- What is your favorite quote?
“Stay the course” because it is a phrase used in war to keep pursuing a goal no matter the obstacles.
- Who you look up to the most in life?
My parents because they have taught me many important lessons of life; about family, commitment, hard work and sacrifice; about treating others with respect; and the importance of following my dreams.
- where do you see yourself after college?
I plan to pursue a career in finance in New York City.
