This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Stanford chapter.

Major
Economics, Masters in MS&E

Extracurriculars
Football (longsnapper)

What makes your (football) position so great?
 
I like having the pressure of needing to be perfect.  No one ever thinks about the long snapper (most people don’t even know what it is) unless you screw up.  Everyone gives all of the glory to the kickers, but they can’t do their job unless I do mine.

Favorite class at Stanford at Stanford
Sleep and Dreams

Favorite quote
“I try to make constant improvement.  I want to be better today than I was yesterday; better tomorrow than I am today.”  Our former kicker AaronZagory said that in a Daily article.  It just kind of stuck with me.  I have it up in my locker, and I think it’s a great way to not only think about football but life in general.

Favorite TV show
Seinfeld

Favorite pastime
Fishing

People often mistakenly think of me as…
The typical jock.  Which I guess I can be at times, but academics always come first (my dad makes sure I remember that).  I’m more of the quiet type, too, and I try to treat others with respect.   

Ideal date?
Probably something simple like dinner and a movie.

Thoughts on relationships?
I think being in a relationship can be great.  It’s nice to always have someone you can talk to about anything, who understands you and is there for you.  I do know that being in a long distance relationship can be TOUGH.

What’s the sexiest thing about a girl?
A girl’s eyes and her lips.
