• Why I Chose Biola: "I chose Biola for a few reasons. One being the hope of strengthening my relationship with God, another being the resources here at Biola…they are phenomenal and the people are always kind and offer their support. Another reason is to be closer to family and my mom as she has had to go through brain surgery while I was attending St. Andrew’s University in North Carolina. Biola also offers me the chance to play the sport that I love at a higher and more competitive level, and surrounds me with a team that’s like family to me."
