Personal:

My proudest moment was setting my PR in shot put my junior year.

I am majoring in Global Business. I hope to one day work for the company that my Grandparents have started and one day be running it.

I chose St. John’s because it was a really good location and it was a good distance away from home.

The funniest moment while being on the team was watching Ryan Murphy mess up a throw and get angry about it while he is till in the process of throwing.

Q & A:

Q: Which coach would you pick to live on a deserted island with and why?

A: Jeremy, because he always has the solution to something and he's probably read some article on survival skills.

Q: If you were in the coliseum and were challenged to fight wiener dogs, what is the highest number of wiener dogs you could defeat?

A: Depends on what tools I’m given to fend them off.

Q: Would you rather be the world's greatest racquetball player or have $20 right now?

A: Racquetball player, because I’m sure there is some tournaments that I could win more than $20 dollars and it would feel nice to be good at something other than eating food.
