Why Washington?
"Ever since I started playing volleyball, I've dreamed of being a Husky. Growing up watching the Dawgs compete with some of the best teams in the country is what made me fall in love with the game. Getting the opportunity to play in the B1G—against the highest level of competition—is honestly a dream come true. The combination of top-tier athletics and incredible academics at the University of Washington has always stood out to me, but what really made it special was how welcoming the coaches and players were. It truly felt like home. I can't wait to get back to Seattle and compete. Go Dawgs!"
