What's been your favorite memory with the Women's Soccer Program here at RCSJ-Gloucester?

My favorite memory was traveling to New York to compete in the Women's Soccer Region XIX Final

Who has had the biggest influence on you while being a student-athlete in our program?

Coach Ruttler definietely had the biggest influence on me this season, she brought out a different player in me that I never thought I could become. She changed the way I looked and thought about the game as well as appreciating itmore than I ever thought.

How are you able to keep up with the virtual learning requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic?

By not getting behind on my academics! It's very easy to get behind with this new virtual learning. But while doing that, I've been trying to stay in shape to get ready for next season!

What is your plan for next year?

I plan on getting into the Nursing program!
