Hi Nova Nation, my name is Katie Graves I am a 15 year old from New Jersey. My Dad grew up in the Villanova area along with his entire side of the family. Villanova has played a special role in my life growing up as I became a fan of the basketball program. Attending games and even a summer camp, I constantly want to keep visiting. I love Villanova because of the overall environment and NOVA NATION!! 

My dad always tells me stories about growing up in the Villanova area, attending St. Thomas of Villanova and all the times he was kicked out of the field house :). He attended and coached at the Massimino camps. He was even a Wombat in the pie shop (for those that can remember)! We have gone to enough games and have enough Villanova swag to make my mom mad, but Villanova will always be his home and our team.
