Why did you chose Central?

I chose Central because of the common cliché, “it felt right.” After visiting several other schools, none of them felt like a place I could call home for the next four years like Central did.

Favorite professor and why?

My favorite professor is Keith Jones mainly because he puts up with all of my sass.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Depends on the mood I’m in. Primarily I listen to OneRepublic, Twenty One Pilots, Eminem, and Imagine dragons

You’re majoring in psychology because?

I’m majoring in psychology because I find it incredibly interesting and I believe that It will help me in my future career goals of being a school guidance counselor.

Which cartoon character inspires you most?

Probably Scooby-Doo since I too can be persuaded to do something with my favorite snack.

What do you refuse to share?

Food. Don’t touch my food. Ever.

What’s the best concert you have ever been to?

My friends and I saw Jesse McCartney last fall and it was my 10 year old self’s dream come true!!

Favorite road trip

Last summer my family went to Colorado Springs and then Wyoming to go to Yellowstone.

All-time favorite Disney movie?

UP

Favorite professional tennis player

Jo-Wilfred Tsonga

Favorite TV Show

Hands down The Office, but New Girl is a definite second. Every girl needs a boy who is the perfect combination of Jim and Nick Miller.

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

He’s going 40 days without drinking a Monster energy drink which is unheard of. Tell coach he can’t do something and he will prove to you that he can.

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

My teammates are pretty great. They are always really supportive of each other win or lose, and we’re always in for some GT’s.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Hopefully be married with kids and have a job in the career field I want to be in… fingers crossed I’ll be close to having my student loans paid off.

Favorite food from Central Market

Definitely mac and cheese pizza

Bucket list

Adopt all the babies and children that need saving
