Personal: "I chose Gonzaga because the volleyball team is amazing, and it is one of the best academic universities in the US. From the moment I spoke with the coaches, I felt like this was going to be my place because they made me fall in love with the program. I am so grateful and excited to be part of this family and see how far we can all go together!"
