I also appreciated the university's internship opportunities, which would allow me to gain valuable experience in the medical field and better prepare me for my future career."

Continuing my athletic career beyond high school has always been a dream of mine, but having the opportunity to do so alongside my twin sister, Bella, makes it even more special.

Why Seton Hill University?
"When I first arrived on campus at Seton Hill, it immediately felt like home. The campus was absolutely beautiful, and everyone was so welcoming. I had the opportunity to experience college life from a student's perspective, learn what daily life at Seton Hill looks like, and tour the campus. Having the opportunity to continue playing softball at the collegiate level alongside my twin sister, Becca, means so much to me. We've spent our entire lives playing the sport together, and some of my favorite memories have come from sharing the field with her."
Advice for future Lions:
"My advice would be to get involved, put yourself out there, and make the most of every opportunity that comes your way. Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, because some of the best friendships, memories, and experiences come from trying things you might not have originally considered. Enjoy every moment, even the little ones, because high school goes by faster than you think. Most importantly, be yourself, trust God's timing, and remember that the relationships you build along the way are what make your experience so special."
