Why did you choose Ohio Wesleyan?
Because of the countless opportunities provided academically and athletically.
Why did you choose your majors?
Psychology and business are two fields that were always of interest to me growing up. When I visited OWU, I found out that I could easily be a double major and a student-athlete at the same time. I was able to choose a school that allowed me to pursue all of my passions academically, as well as continue my athletic career.
Why did you choose to compete in sports at Ohio Wesleyan?
I started playing basketball at the age of 6 and knew from a young age that I wanted to continue the sport into college. I chose to be a part of the women's basketball program at OWU because of the values and morals that the coaches and players embodied. This experience has exceeded my expectations and has helped me grow as a player, student, and person.
What is your favorite memory on an Ohio Wesleyan team?
One of my favorite memories and experiences that I've had as a part of the women's basketball program was the preseason team sleepover we had this year. We carved pumpkins, made s'mores, had a dance battle, and bonded as a team. It was a fun way to kick off the season!
Which reality show would you like to star on and why?
The Amazing Race. My sister is also on the women's basketball team at OWU and we both love to travel, do crossfit, and compete. I think we'd make a great team!
