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.
