Why did you chose Central?

I really love Central’s close-knit campus and great educational programs, which provide many opportunities. 

Favorite professor and why?

Keith Yanner is my favorite professor because he really challenged me to grow as a student and become more aware of worldwide issues.

Who is your go-to musical artist?

Shania Twain

You’re majoring in Business Management and Information Systems because?

It’s the perfect mix of business and computers. Also there are a wide variety of career possibilities in either field.

 If you could master one skill you don’t have right now, what would it be? 
                           
Baking because I have a sweet tooth!

What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
                           
It’s not the weirdest but it’s the most memorable food. When the volleyball team went to New York for lunch one day we went to the Annual Buffalo Wing Festival in Buffalo and I was dared to eat the hottest wing there. Let’s just say I regret completing that challenge.       
 
The Disney character who best resembles your personality
                           
Pocahontas because I enjoy being outdoors particularly kayaking, hiking, and fishing.  
 
Where would you go in a time machine?
                           
I would travel to the past because I would like to experience the history we have only read about in books. 
 
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
                           
Just a few too many. Just kidding, you can never have too many shoes!

Celebrity crush?
                            
Ryan Reynolds
             
Favorite TV Show

Grey’s Anatomy and Fixer Upper 
 
What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central volleyball?
                           
My favorite part is being apart of the team’s atmosphere. We are always having a good laugh, especially on bus rides!

“Ten years from now I’ll...”
                           
Hopefully have successful career that I enjoy going to everyday.

Favorite food from Central Market

Friday Night Chicken Wraps

Bucket list
                           
The top item on my bucket list is to go and watch the Olympic Games in person. I would love to watch swimming, track and field, volleyball, and gymnastics.
