WHY OU: "I chose Oklahoma for a number of reasons including the beautiful campus, the clean, safe environment that surrounds it, and the atmosphere that the school creates for athletics. Everyone I met on my visit, from the academic staff to the soccer program, was super welcoming and I loved the entire coaching staff. I was also amazed by the support that the school provides for student-athletes. I felt like my goals and principles aligned well with the standards held for the team and it seemed like a great overall fit. Another aspect about Oklahoma, that appealed to me was the strong business program that the school offers, as I intend to study business management and graduate with a degree in business. I can’t wait for OU to be home!"
