Why Wisconsin: Wisconsin became my home away from home, and over the five years I’ve spent here, it has proven to be more than just a place. The people of Wisconsin have played a pivotal rolein shaping me into a strong woman who knows how to advocate not one for herself but for others as well. As a Wisconsin athlete, I’ve come to cherish the privilege it brings, whether it’s the people I’ve been lucky to spend time with, the degree, or the memories I have made. Grateful for my victory lap as a grad student.
