After a 19-12 junior season, the Green Terror finished 21-8 and won the Centennial Conference championship and the league's automatic qualifier to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

She was also president of the Exercise Science club and worked as a counselor at the McDaniel and Gilchrest-Zanni volleyball camps and as an instructor at the Westminster (Md.) volleyball league.
She is a 2016 graduate of McDaniel with a Bachelor of Arts in Exercise Science.
