Why Wisconsin: "I chose UW Madison because of the welcoming, family atmosphere that I felt the minute that I stepped on campus. I felt not only supported by the coaches and faculty athletically, but also in my pursuit to earn an engineering degree. UW gives me the opportunity to not only excel on the field, but in the classroom as well."
