Christian environment was a deciding factor. Throughout high
school, I was blessed with great Christian friends so I’m
glad that college will not change that positive influence in my
life. I also am thrilled to be a part of the Carson-Newman
volleyball team that seems to be really close. I was able to
connect with them when I visited. Also, Coach Mincey seems to be
the encouraging coach that I know I need to get me pumped and
playing to the best of my ability.”
