Personal:

For my proudest moment, since it’s my first season doing track, it was pretty cool not always finishing last in my first few meets.

I am an Integrative Science major on the pre=PT track with a minor in music (piano). My personal goal within my major is to become a physical therapist and maybe some day look into music therapy. As far as my plans after graduation, my hope is to get into PT school right away. Otherwise I’d like to spend my time volunteering and working.

I choose St. John’s because the community is outstanding. I had some family members who went here and told me how great it is, but as soon as I finished my tour I knew I could call this place home. CSB/SJU continues to amaze me every day.
The funniest moment or memory on the team are Ryan’s infamous goggles. They never fail to make anyone chuckle.
