Character

Jermier is a two-time team captain and a well-respected member of the Marquette student body. She is one of the more vocal team leaders and has been a strong leader in the weight room and training room, as well as in the classroom and on the pitch. She has a zest for life that is apparent and her energy inspires her teammates. Jermier has a bright and cheery disposition and will go to great lengths to help others around her. She missed her first two seasons at Marquette with a broken foot followed by a torn ACL but did not let that deter her from becoming an all-conference performer. The enthusiasm and intensity she displayed during those two seasons greatly impacted the leader she has become. She was also a team captain of the 2015 WPSL Champion Chicago Red Stars Reserves.
