Why did you choose Moravian College?
I chose Moravian College because I heard amazing things about the nursing program and when I toured campus I felt very welcomed!

What is your major and why? 
My major is nursing and I chose this major because when I was in 7th grade I ruptured my spleen. I needed a medivac to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. I was extremely scared and worried then there was a nurse the came up to me and made me feel better when she handed me a teddy bear.

What has been your favorite course at Moravian and why? 
My favorite course at Moravian College was Naomis Experience Literature class it not only taught me about the Holocaust, but it also taught me a lot about myself. Her class made me open up myself to new experiences and ideas. She is an amazing lady!

When I graduate from Moravian I would like to manage a pro team or do something involving sports.

What is your most memorable moment as a Greyhound? 
Everyday seems to bring bigger and better memories.

How has being an athlete helped you as a student and in the classroom?
Being an athlete has taught me how to balance everything from classes, practices, meets, work study jobs and even other clubs.

Why is community service important to your role as a student-athlete at Moravian?
Community Service is important when being a student athlete because individuals look up to you and if they see you devoting a little time out of your day for a good cause it will encourage others to do the same thing.

What advice do you have for a prospective Moravian College student-athlete?
My best advice would be to get involved on campus, meet as many people as you possibly can to make the most out of your college experience the four years will go by fast and you never know who will be able to help you in the future.
