Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
Some of my friends introduced me to Liberty. All of the people I knew that went to Liberty were people I admired, and they all spoke highly of the school. I like that it is a Christian School and Christ-centered. It is the right place for me because I feel like I can grow in my faith while also getting the chance to compete at a high level.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My dad is a big inspiration for me because of how hard he works and how he treats everyone around him.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
My most memorable athletic moment was winning state basketball my junior year.
What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
I love watching movies.
Do you have any current pets (name and type of animal)?
I have a Golden Retriever named Max.
Who was your favorite athlete growing up?
