Why I chose Georgia Southern: Georgia Southern is somewhere I know I can continue to become a better player.

Coach Kuhfeld on Collett: "It has been very enjoyable getting to know Julianna and her fun family, and we are looking forward to having another Georgia girl join our program! Julianna is constantly testing herself by playing in great events in the Southeast area, and I really like that she plays in so many tournaments. It is easy to see her good attitude on the course, quiet determination and friendliness that she exudes when she plays. Julianna has set herself apart academically and brings that work ethic to her golf game as well.  I am looking forward to having her join our program!"
