“I transferred to Fontbonne because I wanted to continue playing basketball in college.

When I decided to change schools, I gave Coach a call and discussed being a part of the team.

Fontbonne’s academic side was also very appealing. We have a partnership with Goldfarb School of Nursing, as well as a strong STEM program. And Fontbonne also has a strong, close-knit community, almost as if everyone knows everyone.”
