Quote:
"Emory softball has not only afforded
me the opportunity to play the sport I love, but it has also brought
20 amazing people into my life and allowed me to grow on a personal
level. I feel privileged to attend a school that pushes me on a
daily basis to become stronger and rise to challenges, both on and
off the field. Emory provides an invaluable balance of athletic,
academic, and personal success."
