Quote:
"I chose Emory because of the competitive  atmosphere on the court and in the classroom.  It was important to me to find a school where I could not only have a fantastic education but also play volleyball on a high-level team.  Emory is the very best of both worlds for me - from the moment I stepped on campus I knew that it was home."
