Coffee or Rush? Pre-workout

Roost or Brew? The only brew I like is beer

Do you have advice for younger students? Oh do I ever!!! Get involved in as many things as possible, but don’t spread yourself too thin. Find real friends. Call home. Be single and learn to love yourself FIRST. Exercise and eat well. Have fun but be professional when you need to be. Go to class and utilize the career center early and often. Be confident and take full advantage of all the university has to offer, these will be the best days of your life, buckle up!

Any goals for your last semester? I’ll get back to you when it actually is my last semester #VictoryLap

What are you most looking forward to this semester? Finishing out my athletic career with a bang. Watching some of my best friends walk across the stage to receive their diploma and knowing that I still have 365 days until it’s me walking that stage.
