Why did you choose Moravian College?
I chose Moravian College because of its small size. Everybody knows
everybody here and I like that.
What is your major and why?
I chose secondary education because I know Moravian has a good
education program and I enjoy working with kids.
What has been your favorite course at Moravian and
why?
Naomi Gal's Experience of Lit. Naomi is a sweetheart and her
class was a lot of fun.
What are your plans for the future once you finish your
degree at Moravian?
After graduation I plan to start my job search for a
teaching job and then eventually settle down somewhere.
What is your most memorable moment as a Greyhound?
My most memorable moment as a Greyhound would have to be
beating Muhlenberg on our home turf sophomore year. This year, my
newest favorite memory will be beating Muhlenberg on our home turf
again.
How has being an athlete helped you as a student and in
the classroom?
Being an athlete definitely helps me in the classroom.
Especially during the season with practice times and work outs, you
get into a schedule where you have designated times that you do
your school work everyday.
What is the hardest part of your sport?
Saying healthy.
Why do you wear your jersey number?
I wear number 21 because of Ladainian Tomlinson. I admire his work
ethic.
What advice do you have for a prospective Moravian
College student-athlete?
My advice for prospective Moravian College
student-athletes would be ready to work because it is not going to
be easy. But also be ready to have a lot of fun and enjoy it,
because it is going to go by fast.
