Why Vanderbilt: “The moment I stepped on Vanderbilt’s campus, it immediately felt like home! I chose Vanderbilt because of their emphasis on academics as well as athletics, as they provide unique resources for their student-athletes to be successful in and out of the pool. Their team has created such a welcoming and motivating atmosphere in which they support one another to achieve their individual and team goals, which I fell in love with. In addition, Coach Jeremy and Chelsea were so easy to connect with during the recruitment process and sat down with me to discuss how they can best aid my journey throughout graduate school and my last year of swimming. Vanderbilt’s swimming program has grown extensively over the past few years and I am so excited to contribute to their legacy as well as build relationships with my new teammates. Anchor Down!”
