What are you involved in outside of track and field?
Outside of track and field, I am an International Orientation Leader and International Student Peer mentor, a member of the Lafayette Leadership Academy, and a member of the Game Day staff.
 
What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
My favorite things about thing about Lafayette are its community, professors, and small class sizes.
 
What is your favorite event in track and field? Why?
My favorite event is the pole vault. It’s certainly the craziest event, essentially flinging yourself over a stick with another stick, yet there is so much technique behind it.
 
What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My favorite moment competing for Lafayette so far is beating Lehigh outdoors in my freshman year. We weren’t able to do it again this past season, as the meet was canceled due to the pandemic.
