What is your most memorable moment in your playing career at Georgetown?
“By far, my most memorable moment playing at Georgetown was beating the Maryland Terrapins in the National Semifinal in Alabama. I grew up a Terrapin fan, and all of my life I told myself I was going to play soccer at UMD. It was literally my dream when I was younger to play for Maryland. To play against, and beat one of my favorite sports teams growing up was a special moment that I will never forget. I am now a Hoya and always will be. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

What made you choose to come to Georgetown?
“I committed to Georgetown University for a variety of reasons. The education could not be turned down, the distance was perfect (I am a home body), and the program was getting better and better. In addition, I am a huge fan of the coaching staff. They are player’s coaches, and most importantly good people.”

How do you give 110% for Georgetown?
“I have helped work at games for men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s lacrosse, and women’s lacrosse.”

What would you like to say to a donor to The Annual Fund for Georgetown Athletics?
