Why I Chose CMU: "I chose CMU because from the very first moment that I stepped on campus, I knew right away that I could see CMU as my new home where I will continue to grow for the next four years. I also saw myself as wanting to be a part of such a great culture that both the team and coaches have all built, which I want to contribute more to.  The great coaches instantly made me feel at home, and the atmosphere that they have built is something I knew I needed to be a part of."
