Why Mercyhurst? “I want to pursue a career as a Medical Examiner. After talking to several colleges and seeing their programs, I knew Mercyhurst could offer the opportunity to play competitive field hockey hockey, while also enrolled in their Forensics program, which is one of the top in the state.”
Describe a field hockey memory you won’t forget. And, why? “Playing on Central Penn’s indoor team, for age U16. Our team ended up winning our pool at the National Indoor Tournament. My friend and high school goalie was on my team that year, and our friendship grew. And, the trust we have on the field to this day has contributed to our team success at the high school level.”
