Caldwell University's core values strongly align with mine, and as such, I look forward to utilizing the knowledge attained from my experiences to continue providing an elite student-athlete experience for our student-athletes. I want to say a special thank you to the Bloomfield College Athletic Department for their support over the past three years. I am grateful to have served in a wonderful community."
