Why did you chose Central?


I chose Central because it was the right place for me. Everyone was welcoming and extremely helpful during the process of me selecting a school to attend.

Favorite professor and why?

Dr. Laine is my favorite professor because she is always pushing me to new limits.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

My go to musical artists are probably Luke Combs and Khalid

Because it is such a broad major. There are many different things you can do with a comm major, but for me I would like to get into a field of communication in sports.

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

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

The guys. Being on a team with such great teammates is what helps you enjoy the sport. Believe it or not tennis is as much a team sport as any other sport at Central. Working hard is a lot easier when you have good teammates to do it with.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Ten years from now I hope to be working as a sports commentator or writer, have a beautiful family and a house with a dog that is big enough to tackle me when i get home from work.
