Why Wisconsin?
"I chose Wisconsin because I have always felt strong love for the school. When I was younger, I visited with my mom because my older sister was in a golf tournament near Madison. I immediately fell in love with the school and destined myself to play golf there. Both golf and academics hold high prestige. It is evident that both coaches want the best for their athletes and truly care."
