Non-major course that I have enjoyed the most: Introduction to Acting. It was such a fun class and I was able to take the course with teammate Bre Hartman.
What I like best about college: The field hockey team, as well as, how close-knit the college actually is; Wesley is a small school so your professors work with you one-on-one and the students get along with one another, specifically the student-athletes who support each other in their respected sports.

My favorite spot on campus: The
locker room at Wesley West; I often go there early before practices and
games to just mentally prepare or watch the food network and nap.

Favorite quotes: “If you judge people, you have no time to love them” – Mother Teresa
“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life…if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be” –Roald Dahl
(Background on my phone) “The last thing you want to do is finish playing or doing anything and wish you would’ve worked harder” –Derek Jeter
Who I would love to invite to dinner: Ellen DeGeneres, Denzel Washington, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson
A goal I continually strive for: To inspire people. I want to be a positive energy for everyone and anyone around me. I believe people should embrace the life they’ve been given and if they aren’t happy, I hope they know they have the power and ability to make changes and be whoever they want to be, do whatever they want to do; it’s completely up to them. I want to help people understand how beautiful, although short lived, life actually is.
