WHY BALL STATE: I wanted a steppingstone towards my end goal of the Olympics, and Ball State provided a welcoming environment which would turn into my home so far away from home. The development and support I knew I would receive from the coaching staff were a huge aspect of choosing Ball State. The nursing program is incredible, and the family team culture was heartwarming to see, and I knew I wanted to be a part of it.
