If you could relive one moment from your career as a Hartford Hawk, what would it be?
If I could relive one moment it would be the big win against UNH in the American East Semi Finals. We had never beat UNH in my whole volleyball career and finally did when it counted.
What was your favorite Hartford Athletics event that you attended as a fan, and why?
My favorite Hartford Athletic event that I attended as a fan was the Women's Soccer semi finals in Albany, the whole team was in the stands cheering on our fellow athletes and it was a phenomenal win that brought them to finals.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused the abrupt end to winter and spring sports for the 2019-20 academic year, as well as the cancelation of several end-of-the-year activities for all student-athletes. The University of Hartford Department of Athletics would like the opportunity to thank our seniors for their dedication through their chosen sport. As a result, HartfordHawks.com will be posting Senior Salutes for each senior throughout the coming weeks.
