WHY OU: "The University of Oklahoma is my school of choice for several reasons. To start, OU’s strong academic programs and wide array of majors aligned very well with my educational goals. Second, the campus culture has always made me feel at home through its welcoming nature, student camaraderie and a strong sense of community. As an athlete, the extensive resources and support for women's athletics at OU was superior to other schools I evaluated. The coaches and staff are supportive of me as an athlete, as a student, and as a female. Lastly, the traditions at OU are magnetic, and they instantly drew me into feeling a strong sense of pride for the school. I feel at home whenever I am on campus, and I can’t wait to begin my journey in Norman."
