Why did you chose Central?

Because of the soccer team. I also really like the small school feel and the sense of community around campus.

Favorite professor and why?

Sam Mate-Kodjo, he is full of knowledge and makes class interesting. He also likes soccer so it's nice to be able to have a conversation with him about it.

Who are your go-to musical artists ?

It really depends on my mood but I'd have to go with Frank Ocean or J. Cole.

You’re majoring in biology and spanish because?

I was between exercise science and biology because I plan on going to PT school but I really like science so I went with biology. I decided on also majoring in spanish because I'm fluent in it and after studying abroad in Spain I got a lot of the requirements out of the way.

What’s your hidden talent

I can juggle.

Who would play you in a movie about your life?  

Someone attractive, maybe Taylor Lautner? #TeamJacob

The sporting event you’ve always wanted to attend?

I've always wanted to go to a Real Madrid vs Barcelona game (El Clasico) preferably at Santiago Bernabeu. Another one would be the World Cup Final.

Teammate who could be a reality show star

Andrew McMillan for sure, he is a pretty social guy so I feel like he always has something interesting going on.

If you could bring one fictional character to life, who would it be and why?

Pikachu!!! It would be awesome to have him as a pet.
 
Biggest pet peeves?
 
I don't have many but people who don't use their turn signals drive me crazy. I also strongly dislike when people call me El Salvador as in the country.
 
Favorite TV Show

I'm an avid Netflix user so this is a tough one but my all time favorite is Friends.

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

One thing people might not know about Coach Foskett is that he's a great singer. He also knows the lyrics to like every song.

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

My dutch fam, everyone gets along great even with the girls team and no matter what we are doing we always have a good time.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Ten years from now I'll be living somewhere on the west coast.

Favorite food from Central Market

Definitely fruit pizza. I once used a meal at the market just to get a couple pieces before heading to class.

Bucket list

Take a selfie with Ronaldo, go to Sydney, Australia and Rio de Janeiro, and watch the Mexican National team live at the world cup.
