Biography

Why Niagara?
"My cousin attended Niagara and my father gew up in Rochester, N.Y., which is not that far from Niagara. I had another offer from a school which was closer to my home in Arizona that was in Colorado, but I chose Niagara because the coaches were very kind to me and we hit it off right away. Also, the seasons of both track and soccer did not overlap and this was important in my decision as well. I feel as if I can obtain all of my goals here at Niagara both as an athlete as well as a student."
