Why Trinity?
- "I chose Trinity because I felt more welcomed and belonging on my first visit than I did at any other school I went to. I had no idea Trinity existed until the beginning of my senior year, and I found out about it through a silly college match maker quiz that I had to take for a grade. I only had one match, so I had no choice but to research it for the class project. I came to realize that it was a perfect match, so it just came down to seeing it in person before making any major decisions. After being greeted at the Office of Admissions, meeting Coach Jenkins and the team, as well as talking with actual students, I knew it was the college I would attend the following year."
Favorite Class at Trinity
- "I thoroughly enjoyed my FYE course, Climate Changed, since I had great professors, made great friends, and the subject help me find my path as an Environmental Studies major."
Favorite Professor
- "Dr. Ribble is the professor I most admire, and as my FYE professor as well as my advisor, he has made a significant impact in deciding what I want to do with both my major and career."
Before Volleyball...
- "I was a gymnast before I was a volleyball player, and I have met gold medalist Nastia Liukin as well as her coaches Bela & Martha Karolyi."
