I am incredibly grateful and blessed to announce my commitment to further my academic and athletic career at the University of Cal Berkeley!

To my family, thank you for sticking by my side throughout my journey and being my biggest supporters. All the countless hours at the field, the ups and downs, the good and the bad, I wouldn’t have wanted to face it with anyone else. My mom for always pushing me to be the best version of myself on and off the field, the woman who taught me how to be strong and true to myself no matter what is thrown at me. My dad for all of the late night drives to lessons and his desire to help me be one percent better every single day. My grandpa for all of the countless hours he has spent with me at the fields teaching me to love the game, he’s my reminder that through success or hardship to smile, laugh a little, and have fun every time I step onto the field. My grandma for having the most positive attitude regardless of anything, reminding me to breathe and helping me realize I can only control myself and my own outcomes. Thank you guys for every sacrifice made through the years!

Thank you to all of my travel and personal coaches that have not only believed in me but have helped build me as a player to compete at the highest level. My journey would not be possible without each and every one of you. To Coaches Tony Rico and Sean Brashear, thank you for the opportunity and the knowledge you share each time I step on the field.

Most importantly, thank you @CoachSpencerCal and @BTelesco2 for the opportunity to continue my dream at the D1 level and for believing in me as an athlete and a person! I couldn’t have found a more perfect fit and I can’t wait to spend those four years playing under you guys!

GO BEARS!! 🐻💙💛
