Why did you choose Moravian College?
I chose Moravian for the small school setting, the city of Bethlehem and the proximity to home.

What is your major and why?
I am majoring in physics because I ultimately want to be a civil engineer.

 What has been your favorite course at Moravian and why?
I enjoyed Differential Equations. Although it was a tough class it was a lot of applied mathematics which is very interesting and the professor, Dr. Fraboni, was also great.

What are your plans for the future once you finish your degree at Moravian?
I will commission as 2nd Lieutenant in the US Army upon graduation and I plan to be part of the Army Corp of Engineers.

What is your most memorable moment as a Greyhound?
My most memorable moment was our large rally back against Ursinus during homecoming this year.

How has being an athlete helped you as a student and in the classroom?
It has helped me with my time management,  delegating my priorities, and it has helped me make great friends.

What is the hardest part of your sport?
At times the physicality of the sport can take a toll on your body but it is also part of the reason why it is so fun.

Why do you wear your jersey number?
I wear my jersey number because it is close to the number that I wore in high school.

What advice do you have for a prospective Moravian College student-athlete?
The transition from high school to college can be tough but  here I felt like there was no pressure at all and I made great friends in process.
