What accomplishments has your scholarship helped you accomplish? In the classroom, in the community and/or in your sport?
Being granted the opportunity to perform in a conference like the Big 12 has allowed me to become a positive influence on young girls/women that look up to me and aspire to play at this same level in the future.
How will the education you are receiving benefit you after you leave WVU?
After graduating from a school such as WVU, I will be able to use all the skills and knowledge I have learned to hopefully pursue a career in the business industry. I have also done a lot of networking during my time at WVU and have met multiple WVU alumni who have enjoyed successful careers in the business industry.
How have Mountaineer Athletic Club donors impacted your journey as a student-athletes? What would you tell a donor if you were to meet them?
They have provided my teammates and I with a lot of support and opportunities to participate in things we never could have dreamed of, and we are incredibly thankful for those opportunities.

My favorite moment is a tie between beating Baylor at home this past season and doing community service in the Morgantown community.
