About

I was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York, about 75 miles north of New York City. I grew up rooting for the Yankees, Knicks, Giants, and Jets (more so Jets than Giants). I graduated Spackenkill High School in 2010, and my class had about 130 students.
Now, I am a freshman at the University of Connecticut majoring in Mathematics-Actuarial Science. I am a huge Huskies fan and will watch just about any Husky sporting event there is. Whether it's soccer, field hockey, football, basketball, ice hockey, or anything else, I'll watch it. I am a member of the Goal Patrol, the largest (and best) soccer student section in the country. I have relatives who attended multiple Big East Schools - several cousins are Syracuse alums and my dad went to Pitt. And my late grandfather is a Rutgers alumnus, but that's besides the point. But we all know the Huskies are best.
