Biography

27488
When I was talking to coaches from colleges across the United States, Union really stood out for me because it was a smaller school with a good faculty-to-student ratio that would allow me to form close relationships with my professors. I liked how Union is a strong community that includes all students. I also felt I would fit in with the team and that the tennis program and coaching style would fit me well as a student-athlete.
