Why did you chose Central?

I chose Central because of how genuine the coaching staff and the faculty that I met with on my visits were when it came to wanting to help me accomplish the goals that I had before transferring in.

Favorite professor and why?

Keith Jones because he it is easy to get him sidetracked with a good story in class when no one really wants to learn yet.

Who are your go-to musical artists ?

Kendrick Lamar, J.Cole, Chance the Rapper

You’re majoring in psychology because? 

I am majoring in psychology because the field has always interested me and I think it can help me in any path I choose to take in the future.

Which of your parents are you most like and why?

I’m most like my dad because we both are kinda shy, quiet people and also look exactly alike.

What’s the worst job you have ever had?

Babysitting but not because it’s a terrible job but because I usually just end up napping the whole time. So, I guess that would also make it my favorite job too!

What is your favorite joke?

I don’t have one that I tell but if you see Kyle Smith ask him to tell you the ping pong joke it’s a good one

Would you rather have more time or more money?

I would rather have more time. With more time I would be able to make more money and do a bunch of other things with my life that I never have enough time to do. Like take a nap!

If you could be any flavor of ice cream, what flavor would you be?

cookie dough definitely cookie dough.

Who was your first celebrity crush?

Favorite TV Show

The Flash

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

He loves playing his players one on one even though he’s old. surprisingly he does beat Trashawn a lot though.

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

How close we all are. We really feel like a family.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

probably be somewhere in the world coaching basketball and hopefully not still paying off my student loans.
