PERSONAL: Parents are Stephanie and Jeff McCollam. Brother: Christian. Her aunt is the most influential person in her life because "with her sudden passing, I was able to learn that life truly must be lived to the fullest. She had done so much in her life at a young age and I want to be able to say the same and take advantage of all my opportunities."

She chose UCSC because "it is an opportunity for me to continue playing the sport I love and pursue a difficult major with a UC education."
