I have played lacrosse since third grade, and I have loved every minute. My parents had a rule, "we don't care what sport you play, but play it and play it well." After playing soccer, baseball and basketball as a kid, I discovered lacrosse and I was hooked. My club team taught me how to be a leader on and off the field. I've been commended for my positive mental attitude, ability to apply new skills quickly, and ability to compete at higher levels. Off the field, I am active in my high school and community, a two-year member of Xavier High School's JROTC program, a member of the Theater Department's Stage Crew, a producer in the Podcast Club, and I volunteer at every opportunity. It's important to me that I find a college and program where I can be an active member of the community.
