Why Carolina?
Growing up in Chapel Hill it was always my dream to be a Tar Heel. Ultimately, I chose UNC because of the competitive and supportive culture of the team both on and off the field. I knew UNC was a place I would be challenged every day and grow in all aspects of my life. I want to win a national championship while being surrounded by the best players, coaches, and people in the country.
