Why did you choose Ohio Wesleyan?
I chose OWU because it had the best balance between academics and athletics, and because of the great travel study opportunities available.

Why did you choose your major?
Psychology was appealing to me because I am very interested in learning about people, and how someone's past experiences and cultural background contribute to how they think and behave.

Why did you choose to compete in sports at Ohio Wesleyan?
I chose to play volleyball because I have a passion and love for the game. My favorite part about it is competing with people who are equally as passionate for the game.

What is your favorite memory on an Ohio Wesleyan team?
My favorite memories with my team are probably the pre-season barbecues that happen at our coach's house. They're always fun because everyone is seeing each other again after an entire summer apart and everyone is excited for the start of the season/school year.

What athletic or academic achievement/accomplishment are you most proud of?
I am most proud of being a Top 50 scholar-athlete award winner because it highlights both my academic and athletic accomplishments, both of which are very important to me.
