Why Yale? “One of the big reasons that I chose Yale is that every time I visited and talked with students on campus, I discovered that they were involved in so many different types of activities outside of classes. I want to be a part of a community that is so dynamic and one that I can get involved in. Additionally, aside from the amazing academic resources and opportunities, it was the overall culture and close-knit nature of the field hockey team as well as the greater community at Yale that really stood out and differentiated itself from other schools I was looking at. I am super excited to join the team and work with Coach Stuper.”
