Central College Athletics

St. Joseph, Mich.
Class of 2023

Why did you chose Central?

Central was the perfect fit for me since it is such a nice community here at Central. You easily get to know everyone, from close and personal relationships with professors, and my soccer coach also used to play for a club that I played for in Michigan many years ago. Because of these reasons knew that Central would easily feel like a second home for me.

Favorite professor and why?

Dr. Pavlat. He always puts the needs of the students first and cares about their overall well-being rather than only being a professor for them. He is one of the most kind and caring professors I have ever met.

You’re majoring in exercise science and pre-chiropractic because?

I want to be able to help athletes and individuals live their best lives by helping them form healthy lifestyles as well as maintaining those lifestyles. I believe it is very important for individuals and athletes to live pain-free a daily basis so that they are able to live their lives to the fullest. I also love getting to meet and learn about the lives of new people every day.

Besides athletics, what else are you involved in on campus?

I work with the head football coach and attend FCA whenever I can.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

I love listening to Kodak Black and Gunna

How has attending Central and playing a sport impacted your life?

It has helped me immensely with time management as well as forming my own values and goals about my personal life that I want to maintain and achieve one day.

The one thing Michigan has that Iowa doesn’t?

Superman ice cream and Lake Michigan sunsets!

Are you a morning person or a night person?

I love to sleep in so I am definitely a night person!

If you won a million dollars, what would you do with it?

I would invest the money into an account for my kids do you use to pay off college tuition and also invest it into a Roth IRA account for my kids as well.

What would you name your boat if you had one?

Big Yachty

Favorite TV Show

What’s it like to play for Coach Kobylinski?

It is so much fun and an amazing learning experience. I’ve developed a lot as a soccer player since I’ve started playing for Coach Koby.

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

All the new and close friendships I make as well as getting to see all those girls on a daily basis

What do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?

I hope to be running my own chiropractic practice with two kids of my own!

Favorite food from Central Market

My favorite vegetable is asparagus so whenever I can find asparagus at the central market I am extremely happy!
