Intended major: “I am interested in business or medical.”

Why did you choose Johns Hopkins? “I chose this school because it is one of the best collage lacrosse programs in the country. Hopkins’ academics are also amazing; I wanted to go to a school with high academics and a great lacrosse team. Johns Hopkins provides both of that for me.”

Outlook for HS team in 2013: “Syosset High School is always looking to win that State Championship but it only matters how hard we work. How hard we work is how well weʼll do this year.”

Other schools considered: UNC, Michigan, Duke, Lehigh, Syracuse and Ohio State

Other comments: “I would like to thank my head coach, John Calabria, for helping me with my game and making me a Division One lacrosse player. I’d also like to thank my dad for just reminding me to work hard and never give up.”
