Why Tennessee: "Tennessee is special because there are so many unique things about it. I have never experienced a place that has a rich fanbase with a lot of love for the school. I love that Rocky Top is our song, and everyone else finds it annoying. The campus is one-of-a-kind to me, being so close to the Smoky Mountains. I think there is a lot to appreciate about Tennessee beyond sports, such as music ,food and the people that allow me to enjoy UT in all areas."
Future Plans: "In the future, I would like to play professional volleyball. But if that doesn’t happen I would pursue a career to be a physician's assistant."
