Why did you chose Central?

I chose Central because of the family atmosphere. The first time I visited Central I knew this would be my home for the next four years. No matter who you know or don’t know you can always count on a hello walking from class to class.

Favorite professor and why?

Dawn Reece. I love the way she teaches and always makes class fun. She’s also really funny.

Who are your go-to musical artists ?

Anything by Thomas Rhett, Cody Johnson, or Russell Dickerson

You’re majoring in Sociology because?

I wanted to do something that I could eventually change or have an impact on someone’s life in the future.

Would you rather lose your sense of taste or your sense of smell? Why?

Sense of smell. I love food too much and sometimes those bus rides home after games can be a little smelly.

What is your favorite throwback song?

Year 3000 by the Jonas Brothers

If you could speak another language, which would it be and why?

I wish I could fluently speak and understand Spanish. I love all things Mexican.

What was your dream job growing up?

To become the president, I think I would make a quality candidate right now.

What was the last picture you took on your phone?

A picture in Arizona of Sydney Rudd pushing me off a boulder 

Teammate who would be most likely to win on “Dancing with the Stars”

Definitely Daria Parchert or Annie Devries, they both have some sick dance moves

Favorite TV Show

Say Yes to the Dress

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

She secretly loves Wendy’s as much as coach does 

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

Central Softball is so much more than just the game of softball. The connections made with alumni, the traditions we have, and the atmosphere of the program is unlike anything I can ever put in words. I have learned so many life lessons both on and off the field the past four years. Central Softball is so much bigger than myself and everyone on the team.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”
