I chose my major because I am interested in the field of medicine and the major provides a thorough understanding of many of the fundamentals within the field.
Why did you choose to compete in sports at Ohio Wesleyan?
In high school, I had planned on continuing my wrestling career to the collegiate level.

Skydiving and bungee jumping.
