How do you motivate yourself prior to competition? Honestly, whenever I try to motivate myself I look at my coaches, teammates and family. They are all the most motivating people for me. I know that whenever I am super down or stressed about a big stunt or something new that my teammates are always there for me and push me to do my best.
Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years, I see myself in my first year of teaching. I hope to be a second grade teacher.
What is your favorite class this semester and why? My favorite class this semester is my environmental science class. Before I came to Brookdale I would have told you science was my worst subject and that I wasn’t very good at it. So I was terrified to take it in college. But my professor this semester is making me enjoy science again.
What are your top 3 movies? The Last song, Just Go with it, and Safe Haven.
What is your proudest moment as a student-athlete? I would say my proudest moments as a student athlete is being open to learning new things. I am constantly being asked to try new things and wanting to try them which I think encourages me to do my best.
