Biography

Why Niagara?
“After, speaking with Coach Nigro, I was so excited I changed my official visit to 48 hours from 24 hours. I was looking for a male/female team that had good team cohesiveness and had the major I was looking for, which was nursing and wasn’t large in student population. When I was there, I felt right at home, the Niagara community as well the swim team made me feel like I fit right in, and that was the best feeling. Once my trip was coming to an end it was sad leaving but I knew right then that this was the place I wanted to be. “
