Why I chose Ole Miss: I chose Ole Miss because right when I stepped on campus I fell in love with it. The campus is beautiful and has a fascinating history. Having the opportunity to play golf in the Southeastern Conference (one of the top conferences in collegiate women's golf) has given me a chance to play against the best players in the NCAA, helping me to improve as a golfer and continue to reach my potential. Most importantly, being from Canada, the warm, sunny weather in the south is a huge bonus!
