Why Asbury?
  • I decided to transfer to Asbury for the opportunity to play Softball and finish my degree. What I did not expect is to find a place full of amazing people who push me to be the best version of myself by growing in faith. I would not be who I am today if it were not for my years spent at Asbury as a student-athlete.
