How has being an athlete helped you as a student and in the classroom?
Being an athlete helps you organize your school work and time. It puts together a habitual schedule for me.

The hardest part is the spring season because even though it’s the off-season, the work is more grueling in preparation of the season.

Why do you wear your jersey number?
I always wore double numbers and 55 was available so the number picked me.

My advice to a prospective Moravian College student-athlete would be to make time for your school work and work as hard as you can because wearing the Moravian College jersey is a privilege.
