What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
My favorite things about Lafayette are the interpersonal connections I have made. All of my professors know me by name and I often see people I know while walking across campus.

What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
My favorite moment while competing for Lafayette is watching my teammates do well in their events. I see my teammates work extremely hard during practice all year. When they PR, everyone is so excited for them, and we often watch events jumping up and down and yelling.
