- Why Viterbo?- "When I was back home in New Mexico I kind of took a little break from school and volleyball because I did not know what I wanted to do with my life, so I took a whole year off and was working two jobs and realized I miss volleyball, I want to play again so I did my research, opened up an old recruiting profile, and saw the offers that I had received back in the day so I went ahead and emailed the coaches back saying why not let me see if any coaches would still be interested in me after a few years. Coach Dave Simon from Viterbo University was the first coach to email me back that day! Dave Simon was just so tentative to me, making sure I was doing okay, telling me about Viterbo and how it would be a great a fit for me and none of the other coaches were as excited to have me as Dave was, so I went ahead and chose Viterbo University because of the spirit and excitement Dave had for me to play for this University!"
