What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
I knew Liberty University was the school for me because it is going to challenge me to become the person I want to be. It will make me become the best version of myself spiritually, athletically, and academically.
Is there something about your life and upbringing you would consider unique?
My mom was not a strong Christian and was introduced to a relationship with God when I was born. She put me in private Christian schools and my faith made our families faith stronger to where it is today. Additionally, I have half siblings at the ages of two and four so our age gap difference is 13 and 15 years. I have been able to watch them grow up and they have helped me grow in so many ways.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My mom inspires me because she is so dedicated to our family. She puts everyone before herself with the main goal of helping them become the best versions of themselves.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
My most memorable athletic accomplishment was the first time I won Most Outstanding Athlete on my team at school.
Do you possess any special or unique talents, interests, or hobbies?
I love art, more specifically ceramics and drawing. I like to observe it in museums and understand the stories other artists are telling. But I also love to create pieces myself and the ability to tell stories through my art as well.
