Why did you choose Bethel?
I have family ties to Bethel. I also wanted to be engrossed in a Christian community and have a greater opportunity to grow in my relationship with Christ.
What do you enjoy about your major?
I love seeing God heal and work in people's lives. I also love the idea of working with people (especially athletes) on a day-to-day basis. It's a blessing to have the gifts and abilities to help people.

First Aid
What is your favorite academic memory from BU? (project, internship, study abroad trip)
Project: making a sports center spoof on the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract disorders
II. Athletics
How would you define your role on and off the court?
On court, I lead through encouraging others, having a steady attitude, and by my work ethic. Off court, I lead through building relationships and seeking to help my teammates in any way.
What are the team goals for this spring on/off the track?
Team goal is to make the MIAC playoffs. I don't have a specific individual goal in terms of a record I'd like to achieve or any awards I'd like to win. Instead, my goal each day is this: "To play the best tennis I can today."
Biggest influence on your athletic career?
My dad.

Brock Lesnar. I gave his daughter tennis lessons.
What song/band is most likely to be playing on your iPod?
Taylor Swift or MercyMe.
Do you have any pre-match rituals or traditions?
I always pray before each match. I also like to hit one serve as hard as I can in warm-ups, just to pump myself up.

The Bachelor. I'm considering it.
