Starting a New Program on Campus

Being a collegiate student-athlete has been an all-encompassing responsibility and transformative experience that I am forever grateful for. It has required me to give every part of myself to the process, but who I have become as a result has been worth every ounce of sacrifice. I know that the memories I've made, relationships I've developed, and opportunities that I have been given during my time at the University of Illinois will make up some of the most meaningful of my life.
