IN HER OWN WORDS
Most memorable moment: "Honestly, there are far too many to recount. My four years spent in UWF athletics was a conglomeration of some of the most incredible moments I have ever experienced. Coach Bartlinski never ceased to believe in us and pushed us to be even better, both on and off the field. His passion fueled our team and his humor kept us humble. The teammates I had along the way were some of the most amazing people I have ever met; they were (and still are) all considered family to me. I wouldn't trade a single moment in those four years for anything; they are among my most cherished memories.
 
"Being a student-athlete helped me know how to be a part of a team outside of the athletic realm. How to understand people from different walks of life in both professional and personal aspects. How to allocate my time and energy appropriately to all facets of my life.
 
"I can't even put into words how utterly grateful I am!! Soccer had been my undying passion ever since I was a little girl. It has taken me to different cities and countries, allowed me to earn two college degrees, pushed me past my physical & mental limits, and, most importantly, introduced me to some of the most amazing people I have ever had the privilege of knowing. To me, soccer isn't just a sport, it has been one of the most influential contributions to the formation of who I am today. It is a true honor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame of the college that I love! You know, UDUBB!!"
