Why did you choose Moravian College?
I needed a school where you could become familiar with everyone and feel at home while pursuing a degree.

What is your major and why?
My major is Sociology with a concentration in law in society. I chose this major because I want a career that allows me to be around people and have a positive impact on them.  

What has been your favorite course at Moravian and why?
My favorite course has to be Spanish because it takes me out of my comfort zone and helps me to understand a different culture.

What are your plans for the future once you finish your degree at Moravian?
My plan is to become a PA State Trooper or NYPD.

What is your most memorable moment as a Greyhound?
My most memorable moment is when my team made it into the playoffs my junior year after an up and down season.

How has being an athlete helped you as a student?
Being a student athlete keeps me focused and makes me want to work as hard in the classroom as I do in the gym.

What is the hardest part of your sport?
Hardest part of my sport is pushing myself when I have nothing left and making the best decisions when mentally fatigued.

Why do you wear your jersey number?
I used to be number 23 but as a freshman at Marwyood the jersey was too big and since Chris Paul is my favorite player I wore 3 because he does.

What advice do you have for a prospective Moravian College student-athlete?
Moravian is a place where you'll feel at home and know everyone on a personal level.  You can be a part of great athletics, great community and a great education.
