Why did you choose Central?

Central had the best atmosphere and community of every college I visited. It amazed me and still does how the students and staff are one big family

Favorite professor and why?

I have been very blessed with great teachers, but Mark Mills made a lasting impression on me during my sophomore year at Central. I’ve only had one class with him, but he truly got to know who I was as an individual. He knew what happened in every single soccer game of mine and would tell me good game in class the next day. He makes each of his students feel important

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Florida Georgia Line will always be one of my favorites

You’re majoring in business management because?

I’m majoring in business management with an economics minor. I’ve always had a niche for business and have been interested in sales since I was 5 and selling acorns with faces drawn on to my neighbors

Favorite player on the U.S. Women’s National team

Alex Morgan

Describe your perfect pizza

Thin crust Hawaiian pizza from Georges

Teammate most likely to complete American Ninja Warrior

Felicia (Roppe) would be the first one to jump for that opportunity, but probably the first one to lose

If you could sing a duet with one person, who would it be and why?

Thomas Rhett in hopes I’d get to meet his wife and my woman crush, Lauren Akins

Favorite superhero

Wolverine

Favorite TV Show

Game of Thrones

What’s one thing people might not know about Coach Kobylinski?

He will make up the most random and strange nickname for anyone, and EVERYONE must have a nickname. Sometimes I’m not sure if he remembers my real name, as he introduces me to recruits (and their parents) as Tank

What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central soccer? 

Central soccer is one big family, men’s and woman’s team. Most of the parents are best friends and love to hangout with each other as much as us “kids” do. I love and will miss all the memories I’m making with my team, but I know I have lifelong friends

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Probably be a mom of 10 dogs

Favorite food from Central Market

Cook to order Mongolian

Bucket list

Snorkel the Great Barrier Reef before it’s completely dead
Build an eco-friendly house to live in
Live in a foreign country at least one year
