Why did you choose Ohio Wesleyan?
There were a lot of factors in my decision to come to OWU, the first being the field hockey team and coaches. I also really loved all of the academic resources students are given during their time at OWU, as well as the tools to become successful after graduation.
Why did you choose your major?
I've always had an interest in the way the body works. I had to go to physical therapy once after an injury, and I've wanted to be a physical therapist ever since.
Why did you choose your position?
I'm not sure the reasoning behind it, but I was put at defense on my first day of rec field hockey in 5th grade. When I got to high school, my coach moved me up to the midfield. I've been switching between the two ever since.
Why do you like your position?
I like playing midfield because there are offensive and defensive opportunities.
What is your favorite memory on an Ohio Wesleyan team?
My favorite memory as a team is having a pasta party and watching Gnomeo and Juliet.
What event/sport other than your own would you like to try?
I've never golfed before, so I think it might be interesting to try it.
Is there a specific coach or teammate who has helped you get where you are?
The whole freshman class has been really helpful in our transition into college. We all support and encourage each other.
What is your favorite place to eat in Delaware, and what is your go-to dish there?
My favorite place to eat in Delaware is Typhoon Asian Fusion Bistro and my go-to dish is a sweet potato roll.
What is your ideal travel destination?
My ideal travel destination is probably Italy because of the sights and food.
What is your game-day pump-up song?
My game day pump up song is "My Family" (from "The Addams Family")
