Why Michigan
"Michigan was always a school that stood out to me since the early recruiting process because the academics alone are extremely impressive, but the athletics are also at such a high standard. Once finding out about all of the resources given to students and student-athletes I was sold because they truly set you up to succeed in every way if you are willing to put the work in."

Why Gymnastics
"I started gymnastics when I was around 2 and I got truly hooked once I joined the USAG level 4 team. Doing a sport that was challenging and rewarding at the same time was so fun and every practice was different, giving me something to look forward to."
