Why did you chose Central?

               
I chose Central because of how small it is. It really felt like a tight knit community when I visited and that’s exactly what I wanted. Central also is very well known for their education program.

Favorite professor and why?
               
This question is tough. All of the professors in the education department are absolutely unbelievable. They always find new ways to make class interesting and truly care about you as a person.

Who are your go-to musical artists ?
               
Right now it is Pentatonix’s Christmas album. I am obsessed.

You’re majoring in elementary education because?
               
I want to show kids love and fuel their passion for learning. Plus all of the unbelievable stories, you never know what is going to come out of a kid’s mouth. How does it get any better than that?

What animal best represents you and why?

Probably a sloth because they are pretty chill and love naps.
 
What do you refuse to share?
               
ice cream

Favorite knock knock joke?

*Imagine 3rd graders screaming this one at you.
Knock knock.
                Who’s there?
                Cow says.
                Cow says who?
                No, a cow says mooooo!
 
Worst thing you ever did as a child? What was the punishment?
               
I was a pretty good kid, so I don’t have any super interesting stories. But, in 4th grade I made my teacher cry because I corrected her too much. Pretty sure my mom just came home and told me to stop correcting her in front of the class.
               
If you could bring one fictional character to life, who would it be and why?
               
The Minions from Despicable Me because they are hilarious.
 
Tell us about a teammate with a secret talent.
               
Mary Gray has a Jersey accent like no other.
 
Favorite TV Show
               
That So Raven
 
What’s one thing people might not know about coach Fuller?
               
Coach Fuller is a huge advocate of the flu shot.

What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central track and field?
               
All the teammates I now get to call my friends.

"Ten years from now I’ll...”
               
...be married, teach in a small town in Iowa, and hopefully have children and a dog.

Favorite food from Central Market
               
BBQ Nachos

Bucket list
               
Travel the world
