Personal: Daughter of Clinton Richardson and Demetria Fenzi-Richardson. Majoring in biology (EEE option). Enjoys golf (obviously), marine anything (tide pooling), outdoorsy adventures, eating and killing plants. Lists getting to travel to so many new places, meet so many new people, play some pretty insane golf courses, all with her best friends, as her most exciting experiences in sports. Notes her plant-killing abilities have improved drastically compared to last year. #growth.
