Why did you chose Central?


I chose Central because my first step on campus felt like home. I visited during the winter season and there were Christmas lights in all the trees and it seemed like the perfect place to spend the next four years.

Favorite professor and why?

Melanie Hatch because she is down to earth, tells exactly how it is, and is constantly pushing her
students to be the best teachers that could be put into the school systems.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Definitely throwback Taylor Swift

You’re majoring in elementary education because?

I am majoring in Elementary Education because there is no better sight and feeling than a student’s face when they are learning new things.

What is the candy you can never say no to?

Starbursts

Favorite Superhero?

My mom

All-time favorite Christmas gift

When I was 7, my parents bought me the Barbie Dream House. I didn’t finish opening any of my gifts that morning because I was so busy playing with it.

Teammate who could be a reality show star

Chapel Carter…

Person past or present you’d like to have lunch with

Abraham Lincoln

Most embarrassing moment?

My freshman year at Central, I didn’t realize there were holes in the bottom of the raspberry container, so I put it in my bag with my white volleyball shoes and jersey… Thankfully Delaney had a tide to go pen and there was an extra jersey for me. Otherwise I would’ve played in a pink jersey and shoes…

Favorite TV Show

Friends

What is it like to play for Coach Czipri?

Coach Czipri pushes each player to be the best person and player they can be. She is training us to push ourselves out of our comfort zone in our personal lives and on the court. That is what’s going to take Central Volleyball back to the top again.

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

My favorite part about being a member of Central Volleyball is the relationships that we all have. During season and out of season, we spend so much time together and it helps build lifelong friendships.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Maybe a principal, or a kindergarten teacher, or maybe I’ll open my own preschool.

Favorite food from Central Market

Chicken Nuggets!!!

Bucket list

-Go to all 50 states
-Go to every zoo in the US
