I chose Lasell College because of the opportunities it provides and the opportunity I had to play soccer. I saw a developing program and I knew I could contribute to it.
What’s your favorite memory as an athlete at Lasell?
The Saint Joseph College of Connecticut game my freshman year. We tied the game but scored two goals in a matter of three minutes. I had one of my best games to this day.
Do you have any superstitions before you go into a game?
I have to listen to the same three songs before I can play. If I don't, I feel unprepared.

I like to hang out with my roommates and head into Boston for some cannolis from Mike's Pastry.

I don't have any current plans for that, but if an opportunity presents itself I wouldn't be opposed to it.
