What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
My favorite part about Lafayette is the genuine excitement that students have for their peers. This is expressed through support at games and meets, during artistic performances, and through attending seminars run by peers. I really enjoy being around people who are passionate about their own interests as well as the interests of others. This environment at Lafayette allows me to express myself in ways that I never could before.
 
What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My favorite moment so far was hearing my teammates cheer for me in my first race as a freshman. For that race, I was very nervous but the support from my team really helped me feel confident in myself. In that moment, I was really able to feel the family-like bonds I have made with my teammates.
