Personal:

My proudest moment in my track career was running in a really competitive 4X800 at the MIAC Outdoor Championships my sophomore year. I gave it my all in the first leg. I haven't felt much better than that!

I am a Music and Mathematics Majors. I aim to use my ability to work with patterns to teach, in either field, or both. I hope to write music that changes listeners' perspectives. After graduation during the 2019-2020 school year, I'll be volunteering with the Benedictine Volunteer Corps, teaching at St. Benedict's Prep School in Newark, NJ. I'll use this experience to inform my decision about what to pursue next.

The reason why I chose SJU is simply put, St. John's felt like home.

The funniest memories are during the team interviews. We've had some pretty good interviews. I especially enjoyed the questions that Charlie Raasch asked. For instance, "What is your favorite flightless bird?"

Q & A:

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

A: Tim; he'd certainly keep me entertained with stories.

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: Maybe a dozen.

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

A: $20. I need a new watch.
