How do you stay involved on campus?: I’m on the track and field team. I started doing track in high school to get in shape for football. I picked up javelin and started doing really well at it and I realized I could continue in college.
Who do you look up to and why?: My grandpa, he always taught me that there is nothing that can substitute hard work. He taught me that your work ethic is what defines you.
What are some of your hobbies?: My favorite thing to do when I’m back home is any type of fishing. I mainly go fly fishing. My grandpa is a pretty big fisher and kind of got me into it. He’s also a big hunter and I just started getting into that with him. My favorite thing to do is anything outdoors.
Any major differences between California and Oregon?: The weather here is awesome. Back in Medford it’s been freezing most nights. During track training back in Oregon, it would be raining or freezing cold until as late as May. Davis is a pretty small town and I’m from a small town so that had a lot to do with my decision of coming to Davis. It made me feel a little like I was at home. But there is a lot more diversity here.
What are your plans after college?: I’m applying to medical school and I’m planning on taking a year off. I already took the MCATs and I’m just trying to get as much medical experience as I can. I’d love to go to medical school back in Oregon. Otherwise, I think it’d be fun to go to medical school in the south, it would be a new experience. I would love to become a general surgeon. I shadowed one and it really intrigued me. After I graduate, I’ll continue to work at the Allergy and Asthma Center of Southern Oregon. I’ve worked there the past five summers. I work in the clinical research institute and recruit patients and enroll them on studies on drugs that are waiting to be approved by the FDA. I meet with patients, run tests, track progress, and other tasks. It’s a lot of fun.
Who would you switch lives with?: I’d probably switch lives with Clay Matthews. He’s the starting line backer for the Green Bay Packers.
Most embarrassing moment: In high school I went to the bathroom and walked out with toilet paper stuck to my shoe. I walked through the entire library and everyone saw. All my friends were laughing at me and I didn’t realize why until later.
