Junior
Ann Arbor, Michigan

Why Central?

I chooses Central because of the small class sizes and the ability to play soccer. I also wanted to venture outside of Michigan to meet new people in a new place.

Favorite professor and why?

My favorite professor is Professor Shuger Fox. She's always makes class a lot of fun and tells so many stories to make class exciting.

In your iPod?

I have a variety of music on my phone but mostly pop and country.

You’re majoring in exercise science because?

Because I've always had a passion in the health field and always saw myself having a career in something medical. Also many people in my family are in the health field and I feel like I need to keep the tradition going.

Biggest pet peeves?

Being late. I'm a stickler for being on time and I hate having to rush if I'm late.

What is something you have always wanted to try but are too scared to?

I've always wanted to go cliff jumping at the lake but I'm afraid of heights.

Best concert you have ever been to?

Sadly I've never actually been to a concert but I'm sure I'll go to one in the near future.

What is the weirdest scar you have and how did you get it?

I have a few scars across my right knuckles. When I was four during Fourth of July I tripped on the sidewalk and scraped my hand on the ground. I watched fireworks that night with bandages on my hand looking like a boxing glove.

What language do you wish you could speak?

I've always wanted to learn a little bit of Polish since my great grandparents were from Poland.

Have you ever wanted to play goalkeeper? Do you think you could do it?

I actually played goalkeeper until I was a sophomore in high school. I enjoyed it and wasn't too bad, but I don't think I could handle the pressure now if I were to play in college.

Favorite TV Show

There are a lot of shows that I couldn’t just pick one. I usually find myself watching whatever Netflix/TV shows my friends are watching at the time.

The one thing people don’t about Coach Kobylinski

He loves to use a lot emojis whenever he texts us. I would have to say his favorite emoji is either the dancing girl or the sunglasses guy.

Why do you love Central soccer?

The girls are the best team I've been apart of. We always have a good time together and there's never a dull moment with them. The girls always make me feel right at home and have become my second family.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Hopefully I'll have a job in the health field and a dog, preferably a German Shepard.

Favorite food from Central Market

I would either say chicken wraps on Fridays or ice cream on Wednesdays.

Bucket list

I've always wanted travel overseas. I've only been to the Netherlands so I would love to travel to more places.
