Why Michigan
"It was a great opportunity, and one that would not only benefit me athletically but academically as well.”

Why Gymnastics
"I started gymnastics when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I think I just enjoyed flipping around, I also saw my older sister compete in this sport as well, so that could be a factor."
