Why Wisconsin: "I grew up in a small town in Illinois and knew that University of Wisconsin was where I wanted to be after my first visit to campus. It is close to home but has a big city energy with small town pride. I really enjoyed spending time with the Badger softball team and coaches and experiencing the team atmosphere. I am very excited to spend the next four years where female athletes are supported and promoted."
