Senior
Burlington, Iowa
Why did you chose Central?
It's kind of funny because growing up I swore I would never go to the same school as my brothers, but as I kept coming to campus for games and other events, I felt that cliche, but important feeling of being home. I also love that it's a smaller campus that nurtures community and allows me to stay involved with volleyball and other campus groups.
Favorite professor and why?
Probably Dr. Schuger-Fox. I love the content of her classes and her teaching style is different from a lot of others. You can also really tell she cares about her students and wants to invest in them. Plus, she's really just hilarious.
Who are your go-to musical artists ?
I am kind of all over the place, but you can't go wrong with Kendrick Lamar, Little Mix, Bruno Mars, Shania Twain, Beyonce, old school JoBros or a variety of music by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
You’re majoring in exercise science because?
I have always had a heart for working with the special needs population. I originally thought I would do occupational therapy, but I am currently thinking things a little more recreational or leisure-based, like an adapted gym or Special Olympics is really the dream job. I am also considering maybe even Intervarsity staff now, who knows! Either way I feel prepared for the options set out before me.
Artist you’d pick to see in concert
Currently feeling Chance the Rapper but I'm open.
All-time favorite Disney movie
This is an impossible question to answer, but since I recently watched Mulan I will go with that. (Plus "I'll Make a Man Out Of You" has to be one of the best songs Disney has ever produced).
What's the ultimate condiment?
Ranch.
What's the most expensive thing you've ever broken?
My laptop.
If you could live in any TV show, which one would it be and why?
New Girl. I think Winston and I would be friends.
Teammate most likely to win on America’s Got Talent. What would they do for a talent?
Either Mollie Mason singing "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" by Celine Dion or Ellie Stoakes singing "Love On Top" by Beyonce (more a comedic act rather than for vocal capabilities).
Favorite TV Show
Basically anything on TLC. Unfortunately, I am obsessed with that channel.
What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central volleyball?
I think my favorite part of Central volleyball is the emphasis on the idea that we are more than just volleyball players, that the effort we put into our sport should reflect the effort we put into every other aspect of our life. I also just love that I will always feel like I have a family with this team.
“Ten years from now I’ll...”
Ten years from now I am really just hoping to have a place to live, food to eat and a paying job. And a dog, preferably more than one. I think that's all I can really hope for at this point.
Favorite food from Central Market
Ice cream sundae Wednesday is my weakness.
Bucket list
Noodling, running the Rocky steps in Philly, visit Greece, win a staring contest, meet Beyonce. Currently taking ideas because I am seriously lacking in creativity...
