Why did you choose Central?

I chose Central because it felt like home from my very first visit and because they had one of the best AT programs around!

Favorite professor and why?

Hands down, Shelli Green. She’s a genius.

Who are your go-to musical artists ?

Childish Gambino, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, and Tyler, the Creator

You’re majoring in Athletic Training because? 

Athletic Training, because I love to learn about the body and how challenging it can be. I also really enjoy the people in the AT program and that I can learn skills that no other major on campus can offer.

Any favorite karaoke songs?

I’m not really a karaoke person, but I could rap some Nicki or Gambino maybe.

What’s the best Halloween costume you’ve ever had?

Probably Kim Possible or Hercules because gingers are pretty rad.

If you received a salary to follow whatever passion you wanted to, what would you do?

I’d probably want to do something like streaming on Twitch or making YouTube videos, I really like how fun and creative you can be with something like that.

What’s your favorite book you’ve ever read?

5 people you meet in heaven.

Dream vacation?

I’d love to go to Hawaii. I’d go fishing, learn to surf, and explore the islands. and Maybe scout out areas to open up a breakfast food truck with Maddi Hennessey.

What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured?

Freshmen year I got a concussion when Jessica Butters stepped on my feet, made me fall over, then that made her fall over on to me, and she landed butt first on my head during my 4th basketball practice at Central ever.

Favorite TV Show

It’s a toss-up between The Walking Dead and Supernatural

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

THE TEAM. They are literally my second family and there is never a dull moment when you’re around them.

“Ten years from now I’ll…”

I’ll own 157 cats, be in the Air Force, and hopefully coaching basketball at the highschool level.

Favorite food from Central Market

They don’t make this very often but I LOVE when they make this cook to order sandwich that’s a toasted bun, turkey, provolone, and cranberry creamcheese spread. So good.

Bucket list

1. Go to LA and watch a Clippers game court side

2. Own a new Corvette

3. Raise a kitten and puppy together

4. Travel the world

5. Master the ukulele
