Coach Rose: I am so excited to be joining such a prestigious school like Agnes Scott.  I cant thank Dr. Richardson & Dean Martin for their trust in me to lead the soccer program to new heights and bringing me in to  join the Scotties family.  The whole athletic department as well as leaders of the college have been so welcoming, together, to make it an unbelievable place to be.  My focus will be helping young women to be the best versions of themselves through athletics.  Through soccer/sport, you can develop positive habits & friendships/relationships that will help you in your overall life outside of sport.  To show dedication, responsibility, & commitment to yourself & to other like-minded individuals, really helps you develop into an amazing person with a positive character.
