Why did you pick Fisher College?

I chose Fisher College because of its location and small college atmosphere.  The small classroom sizes were very appealing to me.  When I was given the opportunity to continue my soccer career at Fisher I jumped at the chance.

What is it like to be a Student-Athlete on Campus?

Being a student-athlete at Fisher College is fun and interesting.  Juggling sports and school can be hard at some points but it is worth it to play the sport you love.  Playing soccer at Fisher has taught me the importance of dedication and time management, something that has reflected positively in the classroom.

Besides playing soccer, what else do you do to be involved in the Fisher Community?

I work in the admissions department at Fisher as a tour guide and I am a member of the Drama club on campus.

During your time as a member of the Women's Soccer Program what has been your most memorable moment?

I have two most memorable moments so far in by Fisher soccer career.  The first was having the opportunity to travel and see places that I never thought I would see.  Playing sports at Fisher has allowed me to travel to about 7 different states.  I especially liked traveling to Niagara Falls last year as team.  The 2nd moment is when I set the school record in saves last year.  It was a goal of mine at the beginning of the season which I was happy I accomplished.

What have you been doing this summer in preparation for the upcoming season?

This summer I have been following our strength and conditioning program religiously while playing in a Sunday league in Auburn, ME.

How has your game improved from year to year while playing at Fisher?

My game has improved ever since the culture of the program changed.  A new coach and a new system are allowing all my teammates to be more focused on improving.  I am surrounded by good coaches that take their craft seriously and it can be seen game to game.  I am excited to see where the direction the women's soccer program is heading in.

What are your goals for the 2012-2013 season?

My goal for the upcoming season as a team is to improve every game.  There were games we could have won last year so it's time we take that next step and claim the victories this time around.
