This is my first Arts Fest. Shameful, but sadly true. I have heard a lot about Arts Fest over my time here at PSU and now am finally able to experience it to the fullest.

She started out by being named the AVCA Division 1 Women's Volleyball National Player of the Year and the Penn State Female Athlete of the Year.
