I would love to thank my parents, siblings, coaches, teammates, and friends for all their support. I am so grateful for the teams and coaches I got to know throughout this process. A special thank you to Coach Durden, Coach @kim_williams22, and all the Cal coaches for this opportunity. I can’t wait to be a part of this amazing team. Go Bears!”
