“Why CMU?”: “As a transfer, my top priority was finding a place that would feel like home for the next three years, and I immediately found that at CMU. What made me know it was the right choice was the lacrosse program. Everyone I met genuinely cared about me as a person, not just an athlete. The team is driven and has a coach that will help me grow on and off the field. CMU feels like the perfect place for me to thrive athletically, academically, and personally over the next three years!”
