Who inspired you athletically to pursue your collegiate dreams?
My parents have always been the biggest supporters in my life and they have really pushed me and motivated me to believe that I can play Division I soccer. I am truly blessed with the parents that I have because they are so supportive and loving. They are the best parents an athlete could ask for. My club coach Kristy Walker has also pushed me and I could not be where I am today without her. My high school coach Mikey Alexander has also motivated me because he was the coach who converted me from a field player to a goalkeeper. Without him I truly don't know where I would be.
