Why Central?

I chose Central because I liked how the class sizes were kept small and I would be able to develop a relationship with each of my professors. I also wanted to make sure to choose a college where I would be able to get a fresh start away from my friends in high school.

Favorite professor and why?

Dr. Fox. She has so much energy in class and it’s so easy to just feed off that energy. Her passion for teaching really shows and it gets me excited to attend her class each day.

In your iPod?

A lot of alternative and rap music. I keep it pretty simple with my music choices.

You’re majoring in exercise science because?

My dream is to become a physical therapist specializing in working with athletes. I’ve had to deal with a number of injuries myself and I want to be able to use my own experiences to help treat others who may go through the same issues that I’ve had.

Favorite celebrity when you were a kid

Jennifer Anniston. Because who didn’t have a huge crush on her as a kid?

Toughest part of Central’s cross country course

Out by the softball fields. There are not many people out there and it’s just easy to fall asleep out there while coming out of the woods. It’s a relatively small area, but coming out of focus can be relatively easy if your mind isn’t set.

Teammate who would be most likely to win on “Dancing with the Stars”

Isaac Steffensmeier. The guy has moves.

If you could live in any TV show, which one would it be and why?

Pokémon. Gotta catch’em all. And I would be the best.

Dream vacation spot

There’s an underwater resort out in Fiji. What part of that doesn’t sound fun?

Favorite professional sports team

Green Bay Packers. I get pretty worked up whenever they play. #GoPackGo

Favorite TV Show

Friends. Grew up with it and I will still watch every episode and laugh as hard as I did the first time.

The one thing people don’t about Coach Dunham

He rides a motorcycle. I see him riding around at times and still can’t believe it’s him.

Why do you love Central?

Central has become my home. I absolutely love spending time here, especially with my teammates. Every time I go home, I can’t wait to be able to get back. Just a lot more exciting than anything I do at home.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Be living in Colorado working as physical therapist taking hiking/skiing trips every weekend.

Favorite food from Central Market

Country fried steak. They need to serve that more often.

Bucket list

Run a marathon in Antarctica, go skydiving, attend the Olympics.
