Why did you choose Vanderbilt? “I chose Vanderbilt because it has everything in a school that I was looking for both academically and athletically. As soon as I visited the campus, I knew I could feel at home there. The campus is beautiful and the athletic facilities are second to none. The coaches, Cathy Swezey, Susan Ellis, and Julie Gardner, were sincere and welcoming. I could feel the great team chemistry, and I felt very comfortable with the players. But, most importantly, the coaches’ vision for the team is consistent with my goals as a lacrosse player. Oh, and I love country music!”
Outlook for your High School team? “Garnet Valley is off to a strong start this season. The team is extremely talented and has a lot of depth. We definitely have our sights set on the PIAA State Championship! Go Jags!”

I would like to thank my future coaches, Cathy Swezey, Susan Ellis, and Julie Gardner, for this incredible opportunity and for believing that I can have an impact at Vanderbilt.
