Why did you choose Oswego? To me, it's far enough from home to make me dependent on myself and
not my parents, but close enough to go home when I want.  When I visited this campus I instantly felt
like I would fit in here.  It also has a well-known and successful education program and that is important to me.

Campus Involvement: Women's Club Hockey

Favorite college memory so far: So many to choose from!!!  I would say that my favorite memory from college was a random movie night with all my friends.  We had an Adam Sandler marathon in my room and we had the BEST time.  Or the day Al Roker came to campus, just because of how ridiculous it was to wake up at 5 in the morning!!

What do you want new students to know about coming to Oswego?  That it is so easy to fit in here.  There is
definitely something here for everyone and for every interest.  That is the one thing that made
me immediately feel comfortable here.

What makes you unique?  Hmm. . . I think what makes me unique is that I have a huge Irish family, nine on my dad's side and five on my mom's side.  I love ice hockey and I played guys ice hockey for ten years.
