Why did you chose Central?

I knew I wanted to play soccer and when a friend from my highschool introduced me to Central, I saw not only their good soccer program but a their excellent academics. I liked the small town feel the school gave me so all together it felt like the right place to go.

Favorite professor and why?

Professor Benedict because He is very fun to have but also his teaching style really engages the class and makes it interesting and fun.

Who are your go-to musical artists ?

Florida-Georgia Line and Brad Paisley

You’re majoring in __________ because? (fill-in the blank with your major)

Biology because I am planning on going to Veterinary school after Central and it is a good undergrad major for me and the Grad schools i am looking at.

Which superpower would you choose to have for yourself?

Flight because I think the ability to fly would be such a freeing feeling
 
If you could be any famous person, who would you be and why?

Either Matthew McConaughey or Bradley Cooper because they both look like they live pretty fun lives and are known for some legendary roles on film.
 
If you could live in any TV show, which one would it be and why?

Rick and Morty because traveling between interdimensional space sounds pretty fun!
 
Artist you’d pick to see in concert

Florida-Georgia Line because I love country concerts and they are one of my favorite bands that I have yet to see live.
 
Chore you absolutely hate doing

Weeding the garden
 
Sporting event you’d love to attend 

A Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field in December
 
Favorite TV Show

Game of Thrones

What is it like to play for Coach Laidlaw?

I love playing for Coach Laidlaw because of the energy and knowledge of the game he brings to the team. As an ex-player, he knows how it feels to be in certain situations and he can connect with the team through that. He creates a fun environment to play in and pushes us to be at our best on and off the field.

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

The friends and the memories we have made together is something I will have the rest of my life. It really creates a close bond.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Be working as an exotic animal veterinarian hopefully employed by a zoo where I can care for the different animals you might find there.

Favorite food from Central Market

Fresh Cookies on Tuesday

Bucket list

Go Skydiving, Own a 1968 Ford Mustang, See the Blues win a Stanley Cup
