Why did you choose Central?

I chose central because I loved the small school feel of it. I was also able to continue my track career here which made it even better.

Favorite professor and why?

Sara Shuger Fox is my favorite professor because she always keeps class fun and entertaining.

You’re majoring in exercise science because?

I think that the body is super interesting. The way it does all the things it does fascinates me so I wanted to learn more about it which is why I chose exercise science.
 
Besides athletics, what else are you involved in on campus?

I am a part of the pre-health club.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Hardy, Morgan Wallen, and Warren Zeiders are my favorites right now.

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

Doing track here at Central has taught me how to have fun while still getting things done. You don’t have to be serious all the time. 

Dream job?

My dream job is to be a sports physical therapist.

Best chain (fast food or sitdown) restaurant in the world?

Shokai sushi, is only in southeast Iowa but there’s more so it’s technically a chain.

I’d love to see a WNBA game someday.

Favorite season: Spring, summer, fall or winter?

Fall and everything that comes with it is my favorite.

Favorite TV Show 

My favorite TV show is either Friday Night Lights or NCIS

What’s it like to compete for Coach Fuller?

Even though he can seem pretty serious, he likes to have fun just as much as us. He always wants us to know that we accomplished something even though we might not feel like we made any progress that day. 

What’s your favorite part about being a member of the women’s track and field at Central College?

My favorite part is the friends I’ve made while being on the team. 

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

I hope to be a physical therapist working with athletes and kids in the southeast Iowa area.
