Why Central?

Central because it was close to home and their exercise science program is great! Plus its b e a u-iful.

Favorite professor and why?

Definitely Shelley Bradfield, she challenges you in class and offers a variety of interesting classes such as Evaluating Contemporary Media.

In your iPod?

A little bit of everything. I have over 400 songs and probably listen only ¼ of them, Spotify and Pandora is a much better option.

You’re majoring in exercise science because?

I am majoring in exercise science because health and wellness is my passion. I love the opportunities that this program has given me! Without it I would never have discovered CrossFit.

If every time you entered a room a theme song played, what would the song be?

Oh goodness, probably something sang by Adam Levine, anyone who knows me knows how much I like him.
 
Biggest pet peeves?

My biggest pet peeve is definitely a toss up between lying and when you try wearing skinny jeans and roll them up but can NEVER get them to be even!
 
Who was the last person you texted and what did it say?

My best friend, we were talking about graduation, needless to say, it was a little emotional
 
What’s the best prank you have ever pulled and who was it on?

I’m not very good at pranks but, my best friend was out of her room and left the door open so I hid in her closet and jumped out at her, she threatened to never talk to me again

Place in the world you would most like to visit?

Definitely India, my mom was adopted from India and I think it would be quiet the adventure!

Favorite TV Show?

I don’t watch much tv, but Parenthood was pretty addicting

The one thing people don’t about Coach Ferrell?

Yes, he is like that all the time. I think that is the question I get asked the most and that’s what makes him a good coach and it makes tennis fun.

Why do you love Central tennis?

The atmosphere, you come there every day during season and you get to forget all your stresses and negative parts of your day!

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Hopefully be working in corporate wellness and improving others lives

Favorite food from Central Market?

Cashew Chicken, I’ve tried to make it on my own and it just never tastes the same

Bucket list

Climb a mountain
Have my own cooking show
Visit India
And I have to be stereotypical and say sky diving
