Why Wisconsin: I signed up for the tennis camp last summer because I thought it would be a fun experience and I heard great things about the school. Once I got on campus I felt like I was at home. At the camp I explored the campus and got the feel of the atmosphere and couldn’t believe how amazing the campus was. I immediately fell in love with the town and school. After realizing this was a place I would love to spend four years playing tennis, I scheduled an official visit with Coach Samara and got the opportunity to watch my first football game at Camp Randall, and I knew this was the place for me. There is nothing that compares to the energy and the school spirit at Wisconsin, and I feel extremely thankful to spend my next four years at such a wonderful school.
