Sophomore
Pella, Iowa
Why did you chose Central?
I chose Central because I knew it was going to open a lot of doors for me academically and
athletically. The professors, coaches, and faculty work really hard to get us where we want to be
at the end of our time here at Central.
Favorite professor and why?
Dr. Shuger Fox has been my favorite professor so far because she is very passionate about what
she teaches and she does a lot of work outside of her job description that really validates her
passion for what she does.
Who are your go-to musical artists?
My go-to musical artists would have to be Alicia Keys and Lauren Daigle, you can’t go wrong with
any of their songs.
You’re majoring in exercise science because...
I am majoring in Exercise Science because I am on the path for occupational therapy and I have
always been intrigued with how the human body moves and how it moves differently from
person to person.
Any favorite karaoke songs?
My go to Karaoke song would be a duet to “Baby It’s Cold Outside” with Mary Gray (it’s an inside
joke)
Favorite movie?
My favorite movie at the moment is “Lion”. It’s based on the true story of a 5 year old boy,
Saroo, who finds himself a long ways from home in India, it’s an amazing story of how he finds
his way back home.
If you woke up morning and found yourself to be invisible, what would be the first things you did?
I would hop on a flight to somewhere tropical.
Which teammate of yours would make the best U.S president and why?
Danny DeVenuto because he gives off a nonchalant vibe but at the same time he loves debating
with others and doesn’t like to be wrong.
If you had to give up one of your five senses, which one would it be and why?
My sense of smell because it seems like the least important sense
Biggest pet peeves?
When people don’t have a sense of humor or try too hard to be serious
Favorite TV Show
Friends, it’s a classic.
What’s one thing people might not know about your coach?
He puts salt on just about everything he eats. Pasta? Pizza? Yes and Yes.
What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central Track and Field?
I love the camaraderie within the team. I love how after practice people will wait for each other
so we can sit and have dinner together, it really feels like a family.
“Ten years from now I’ll...”
Hopefully be a full time occupational therapist who has also had the opportunity to work
outside of the US in a few different countries.
Favorite food from Central Market
May not be a fan favorite, but I love their pecan crusted tilapia.
