Why did you choose Moravian College?
I chose Moravian because it had everything that I could ask for in
a school. I would be able to continue playing basketball and also
participate in extracurricular activities outside of sports. I
liked the close-knit community atmosphere and that it is close to
my home.
What is your major and why?
I am a management major with a concentration in
marketing and spanish minor. I have always loved the idea of
marketing and how it affects us each day. I wanted to continue with
spanish because I am fascinated by foreign language and the
opportunities for a bilingual person.
What has been your favorite course at Moravian and why?
My favorite course thus far is actually one of the
spanish classes that I have taken. There is so much more to a
language than just grammar and I have been fortunate enough to
experience spanish through literature and text.
What are your plans for the future once you finish your
degree at Moravian?
My plans for the future include finding a job in Market
Research at a company and to further my education. I want to
eventually be able to learn another language on top of
spanish (either french or italian) and take my career to the
next level internationally.
What is your most memorable moment as a Greyhound?
My most memorable moment as a greyhound was definitely
when we got to play against the European teams in Munich, Prague,
and Vienna. It was awesome to see how much they love basketball
like we do, and to experience the game in a different way.
How has being an athlete helped you as a student and in
the classroom?
Being a student athlete has helped me tremendously in
terms of time management and preparation. I go into every test or
assignment as I would an athletic competition. Preparation is key;
whether it be during basketball or during school, if you do not
prepare you will not succeed.
What is the hardest part of your sport?
The hardest part of my sport is the discipline that It
takes in order to get the job done. There is no time for a let-down
during a practice or game. We have to be focused 24/7 to reach the
goal.
Why do you wear your jersey number?
I originally wanted to wear #22 but when that was taken I switched
to #14 because #4 was my tee-ball number. (that uniform was a
small so #14 was the next best thing.)
What advice do you have for a prospective Moravian
College student-athlete?
I would advise a prospective Moravian College student to
get involved with everything they want to get involved in. We have
the opportunity to join any organization and still have the time to
dedicate to our sport as well. The time goes fast!
