- Why Tennessee: "The moment I walked on the University of Tennessee campus, I knew I was home. Immediately, I felt the excitement of Knoxville and I wanted to be part of the student body but also to contribute to the school as an athlete and wear Tennessee orange. Every person I met, was welcoming and I could picture myself both in the classroom and on the court. My goal is to further my education at the Haslam School of Business and make great life-long friends. I can't wait to be a Lady Volunteer."
