Why did you choose Central?
I choose Central because of the welcoming people on campus and family-like atmosphere.
Favorite professor and why?
Either Dr. B (Benedicit) or Dr. Anya (Butt) because they are both great professors and have been super helpful with both classes and school related things as well as internships and life beyond college.
You’re majoring in environmental studies because?
I love working and being outside and I feel like this is an important field that needs more people who are passionate about taking care of the environment.

Greta Van Fleet, Glass Animals, SAINt JHN, 070 Shake
How has attending Central and playing a sport impacted your life?
Overall, it’s been a great experience and I couldn’t imagine college life without it. I have made some great friends and it’s given me a great way to get involved with things beyond just going to classes.
Describe the worst haircut you've ever had.
When I was little, I had a bob haircut but oftentimes my bangs would get too long before I got them trimmed, so most of the pictures I see of myself with this haircut my eyes are half covered by my own hair.
What is the best advice you have ever received from a coach?
Not a specific piece of advice but I had a coach who told me that I needed to talk to myself in a more positive way so that I wouldn’t get so frustrated on the court and that had to happen before my skills could get any better. She was 100% correct and I have definitely improved since I took that advice.
What kind of phone was your first phone?
iPhone 4
If you could master one skill that you don’t have right now, what would it be and why?
I wish I could play an instrument like piano or guitar
Favorite TV Show.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
What’s it like to play for Coach Czipri?
It has been helpful working with Coach Zip because of her emphasis on the mental side of the game. Coach Zip is very straightforward and focused as a coach, I enjoy playing for a coach who is no-nonsense like she is.
What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central volleyball?
The girls I get to play with. I had so much fun last season and I am looking forward to getting to do the same again this fall.
What do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?
Something outdoors that makes me happy
