Why did you choose Huntingdon?

I chose Huntingdon because I wanted to go somewhere that gave me the opportunity to grow in my faith the most. Huntingdon has done just that. Also, the family atmosphere here is incredible and I do not think anywhere else can top it. 

What are your pre-game rituals?

I love listening to worship music before games and I always pray during the National Anthem. 

What is your favorite place to eat in Montgomery and why?

Sushi Cafe never misses. This is my favorite place to eat because I always see someone else from Huntingdon there and the Hibachi Chicken bowl is incredible. 

Who is your favorite professor and why?

Dr. Dudley is my favorite professor because of his outgoing and funny personality, but also because we have had some great conversations about our faith. 

What class would you never want to take again and why?

I would never want to take Organic Chemistry again because that was BY FAR the hardest class I have ever taken in my life. 

What is your favorite/least favorite Coach Goodyear/Coach Lowery workout?

I have been lucky enough to only have done Lucky Triple 7s once, but my least favorite workout is either any of the Tabata series or sand workouts. 

If you could play a second sport at Huntingdon, what would it be and why?

I would play soccer because it was something I grew up playing, but made the tough decision to quit in high school. I miss the sport itself, but also the environment and I have some of my best sports memories playing soccer. 

What are your plans after Huntingdon?

I plan on going to medical school to become an Interventional Radiologist. 

How did you end up at Huntingdon? Recruiting process, visits, academics, etc.

I ended up at Huntingdon because it was the best academic school that was recruiting me and it holds a great acceptance rate into medical school. I also had a great relationship with Coach G before I came here and him being the head coach made the decision even easier. 

How is Huntingdon preparing you for your career?

Huntingdon has offered me multiple opportunities to build my resume and to network. The connections Huntingdon possesses are unmatched. I have been able to make very important connections during my time here that will help me out greatly in the future. 

What is your favorite spot on campus and why?

Besides the gym, my favorite place is the library because I have spent many long nights there studying for tests or doing projects. The coffee shop below the library has been very helpful for study breaks, as well.
