Why Central?

I chose Central because I liked the size and friendly atmosphere of the campus.  The professors were great, and really seemed invested in helping me achieve my goals.  I knew I wanted to run track and major in Elementary Education, so it seemed like a good fit.  I loved my visits and couldn’t wait to start my college career at Central.
 
Favorite professor and why?

I have liked all of my professors.  One of my favorite professors would probably be Mary Stark.  Her passion radiates in all of her classes, and she cares about all of her students.  She wants everyone to be successful and is willing to help out with anything.
 
In your iPod?

I mostly listen to country music, but like pop music too.
 
You’re majoring in elementary education because?

I am majoring in Elementary Education because I want to help students receive the best education possible.  I want to make school a place that students are excited to come to each day.  Elementary school is the starting blocks for the rest of their education, so I want to help students start off right.
 
Describe your perfect sandwich

My perfect sandwich would have turkey, salami, and be topped off with cheese, pickles, and mayo.
 
If you woke up morning and found yourself to be invisible, what would be the first things you did?

I would move people’s stuff around just to mess with them.
 
Biggest pet peeves?

Chewing gum loudly and disorganization
 
What kind of phone was your first phone?

I’m pretty sure my first phone was a flip phone that my parents got for free when they bought a new phone.
 
Favorite and least favorite event in the multis?

My favorite event in the multi is between high jump and javelin, which is funny because college was the first time I ever attempted either of these events.  My least favorite is probably the 800 just because I get so nervous for it every time.
 
What is something you have always wanted to try but are to scared too?

Skydiving would be sweet, but I think I would have a panic attack just getting ready to do it.
 
Favorite TV Show

It’s a toss-up between Big Bang Theory and Friends.
 
What’s one thing people don’t know about Coach Fuller

He lived in Idaho for a small amount of time before coming to the Midwest.
 
Why do you love Central track and field?

I love the family atmosphere, especially at track meets.  We always start the meet off with a team breakdown that gets everyone ready to compete!  There is so much support from the coaches and teammates.
 
“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Hopefully be a teacher somewhere in Iowa, be married, and starting a family.
 
Favorite food from Central Market

Breakfast for Dinner
 
Bucket list

Visit all 50 states, Take a trip back to Europe, See the Northern Lights
