What are you involved in outside of track and field?
In the fall I'm an active member of the LEO program, which means that I am a part of the organization that introduces incoming freshmen to campus and to help them get acclimated to campus life. The main idea of the program is to allow incoming students to have at least one familiar face when coming to campus to help them feel welcomed.

What are your favorite things about Lafayette?
My favorite things about Lafayette are the Rivalry Week traditions leading up to the Lafayette versus Lehigh football game, movie nights on the quad are always enjoyable, especially with friends, and having quick and easy access to the downtown area directly from campus is super convenient, especially for Garlic Fest, Bacon Fest, and the Winter Village. I also really enjoy the main quad, especially in the early fall and spring. This is mainly when everyone is outside, lounging, playing games, playing music, it just adds to that “college feel” where everyone is out and about just enjoying life and I love it.

What has been your favorite moment while competing for Lafayette?
One of my favorite moments while competing for Lafayette was my first ever Lafayette versus Lehigh indoor meet. Ever since coming to campus I always heard how each team has their rivalry game against Lehigh, so I was so excited to finally be able to compete against our rivalry team. What made it an even more memorable experience was that I won both of my events (60m and 200m) at the finish line by a step, securing first place for both races.
