As my senior year at Eastern Connecticut was coming to an end, people kept asking me questions like “Have you started looking for a job?” or “So what’s next for you?” Like most other college kids a million thoughts were going through my head about my future. When I was told about Sport Changes Life from a previous scholar, Ashley Montecchio, I started researching the program and immediately filled out an application. I can’t begin to explain how excited I was when I received the email that I had been chosen as one of the 2016-2017 Victory Scholars.
Basketball has been a huge part of my life since I was a little girl, whether it was watching, playing or coaching. It has taught me so much beyond just the sport, instilling in me qualities that have helped me get to where I am today. Becoming a Victory Scholar allows me to give the youth in Ireland a chance to have the same experiences that I was lucky enough to have growing up.
