She has has appeared in 28 career games with 27 starts while playing over 2,200 minutes despite battling injuries throughout her college career. She has helped anchor the defense this season with a career-high 11 starts and scored the game-winning goal in a 2-0 victory versus West Liberty in the season-opener. She also earned the D2ADA Academic Achievement Award as a sophomore and is a two-time Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Scholar-Athlete honoree.
