Personal: 

Since the age of 7, I’ve always loved the game of hockey. I started playing because my best friend was going to play and ever since then, I have made some amazing memories and have met some great people. I came to St. John’s because I wanted a great education and to be a part of a great hockey program. My path to St. John’s started when I became interested while I was attending Breck School. After graduating from Breck, I went out east to play junior hockey with the Hampton Roads Whalers and had two great years before deciding to come to St. John’s University. I felt that St. John’s was a great fit for me because I enjoy the community aspect of a school and also, I wanted to get a good education so that I could get the job I want after college.

My academic major is Biochemistry and I plan to minor in business. After breaking my ankle during junior hockey, I learned about what a radiologist does and I became very interested in how radiology works. My plan after I graduate from St. John’s is to go to medical school to become a radiologist.
