Why Yale? I became enchanted with Yale when I was seven years old after playing at Ingalls Rink and touring the campus. Academically, I believe that Yale will provide me with a challenging, yet supportive environment and will afford me with an opportunity to explore any challenge I seek.  Athletically, I felt an immediate connection with the coaching staff and the team, confirming that Yale was the best fit for me.”
