My proudest moment was when our 4x100m relay team broke the school record and qualified for the NCAA DIII National Championship.

I am a Global Business Leadership major with a minor in accounting. I plan on going into business management or business finance after I am finished with my education. I am not sure what exactly I would like to do in my career yet but hopefully I'm my own boss one day.

I chose St. John's because of the community. It is a place with great tradition and I am proud to be a Johnnie.

There have been so many funny memories it is hard to narrow it down to just one. If I have to pick one, it is when Mohammed told coach he was coming to practice “sh*tfaced”. He had stayed up late studying and thought “sh*tfaced” meant tired.

Q & A:

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

A: I would have to go with Jeremy because you already know Jeremy has done research and is fully prepared to survive on a deserted island.

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: I would guess around 20

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

A: The world's greatest racquetball player... Isn't it obvious, for the girls
