I chose Huntingdon because it felt like a great place to call my home. I was fortunate enough to meet great people on my visits that helped me fall in love with the school.

What are your pre-game rituals?

I really don't have many pre game rituals. I usually try to listen to my music and block out everything but the game ahead.

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

My favorite place to eat in Montgomery would probably be La Zona. I think they have really good food, and I've been eating there since I was a freshman.

My favorite professor would have to be Dr. Shoffner. She is always making class more fun and interesting, as well as making sure you are always up to date with classes and internships.

What class challenged you the most and why?

The class that challenged me the most was probably Motor Behavior because to me learning about the human body was very challenging.

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

My favorite Coach Goodyear workout would be when my team won the "Goodyear Games" my freshman year. My least favorite workout was when we had to unrack and re-rack the weights in the weight room three times.

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

What are your plans after Huntingdon?

After Huntingdon I am planning on working in event management.

I think Huntingdon does a great job of trying to prepare their students for our future careers. They offer great opportunities for students to expand their skills and knowledge.

What is your favorite spot on campus and why?

My favorite spot on campus would have to be the baseball field. I have made so many great memories on that field with all of my best friends.
