Why did you choose Ohio Wesleyan?
Because of the diversity on campus.

Which is your favorite event?
My favorite event in swimming is the 50-yard freestyle.

What are your strength(s) as an athlete?
Definitely my competitive drive. I do not like to lose and will fight to win every race.

Is there a specific coach who has helped you get where you are?
Richard Hawes has helped me so much.  He made me enjoy competing again and I feel like I have found a new love for swimming.

What is your ideal travel destination?
Italy.  I’ve only ever seen pictures and it looks so pretty, and I love Italian food!

If you could visit another time, when would it be and why?
I would probably go back to the early 2000s. I would visit this time because I really enjoy the music from that era and I was too young to be listening to it at the time it came out.
