Why did you chose Central?

I gave Central a chance because of the positive environment and close-knit relationships I could develop while still being a student-athlete. Ultimately, it was the amazing study abroad program options that set Central apart from other colleges and pulled me in.

Favorite professor and why?

I’ve had so many great professors, but probably Dr. Dunne. He has never been afraid to call me out when I seemed like I wasn’t paying attention. Also, he did the impossible and made organic chemistry tolerable.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Eric Church is my one and only!

You’re majoring in biology because?

I want to be a Physician Assistant in the future and the biology track makes the most sense. Eventually I’d like to work with under-served populations in different parts of the country!

Pancheros or chipotle?

As long as someone else is buying, I have no preference!

If you woke up this morning and found yourself to be invisible, what would be the first things you did?

I’d probably try to freak my roommates out by picking up their stuff and walking it over to them. Or slamming doors right after they open them. No way I could do anything too risky though, I’d laugh and give myself away.
 
Describe the worst haircut you've ever had?

My mom paid for a horrendous haircut when I was about four. This thing was straight bull cut and right before our family pictures. It didn’t help she dressed me in Bermuda shorts and a bro tank so I looked exactly like a boy. My face still turns bright red every time I see those pictures.

What (fashion) trend do you wish would come back?

I’m not really a fan of old trends, but there is a new hairstyle I’d really like everyone to try. It’s a mix of a bun and a pony tail, which the soccer team has trademarked as the “bony.” I introduced it to the team freshmen year and I’m pretty sure everyone really digs it.

What language do you wish you could speak?

I’ve been trying to learn Spanish for about 10 years now… so it’d be really cool to actually figure that out!

What’s the best concert you have ever been to?

Any Eric Church concert is phenomenal. Especially when I saw him in Dublin, Ireland. I was 2nd row and I swear we made eye contact any time he looked my direction.

Favorite TV Show

Game of Thrones. No competition!
 
What’s one thing people might not know about Coach Kobylinski?

Coach Koby has set the world record for most emails, texts, group messages, and emojis sent to me in one day. I think most people that interact with Coach in some way can say the same thing… Thanks for keeping us all in the loop Coach!

What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central soccer?

I love the balance of competition and positive energy we have on the team. I’ve seen how much our program has grown in my three years, soon to be four, and the level of competition keeps raising and girls keep pushing our standards higher and higher. I also love being surrounded with the positivity our program and the men’s program provides. I feel like I’m constantly smiling when I’m around any member of the Central soccer family!

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Have enough money to supply my Nutella addiction!

Favorite food from Central Market

I’m more of a breakfast type of girl! So anything like breakfast burritos, omelets, or cook to order eggs really tells me I’m going to have a great day.
