Why did you choose Moravian College?
I wanted to attend a small school that had my major and was relatively close to my home.  Moravian was the perfect size, location and had a great academic reputation.

What is your major and why?
I am a historical studies major getting my teaching certification in Elementary Education.  I chose my major because I’ve always wanted to have a job that not only benefits myself but also benefits the people around me.  I am a firm believer in serving your community in some capacity.  

What has been your favorite course at Moravian and why?
CCID 202 Happiness: The Holy Grail of Western Society with Naomi Gal.  This course was a very unique course.  It was mostly based around my own happiness and what makes me that way.  It was a great course with a great professor.

What are your plans for the future once you finish your degree at Moravian?
I plan on finding a teaching job back home in Northern New Jersey. 

What is your most memorable moment as a Greyhound?
When we played Susquehanna University on a very cold and windy day.  I ended up losing the first set after having the lead but won the second set and beat my opponent in a third set tie-break.  I was very proud of how I kept fighting. 

How has being an athlete helped you as a student?
Time management.  I have a very busy schedule with class and tennis so I cannot procrastinate if I want to do succeed academically.  Being a student athlete forces me to manage my time wisely which is such an important skill to have. 

What is the hardest part of your sport?
Tennis is a very mental game, which is often overlooked.  You not only have to be physically fit but you also have to be mentally tough.  

What advice do you have for a prospective Moravian College student-athlete?
Come to Moravian and definitely play a sport.  Being on a team has so many benefits, such as the relationships that you form with you teammates and coaches.  Plus this will probably be your last time to play a sport at a competitive level.  It's definitely well worth it.
