Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
The moment I set foot on Liberty’s campus, I knew it was exactly where I was meant to be. Being part of such an outstanding school and a top-tier swimming and diving program has been an incredible experience. Even more meaningful has been the opportunity to grow in my relationship with Jesus. Liberty has truly been one of the greatest blessings in my life.
Is there anything special you do premeet or postmeet and why?
I always listen to my music to get hyped. Also, during part of a warmup as a team, we always line dance. Post swim meet I have always gone to get my favorite treat which is a blizzard from Dairy Queen. This tradition started in middle school.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My aunt is my inspiration. She has always been there for me, and I’ve always looked up to her since I was younger. She has always been such a joy and a follower of Christ, and she sets a great example in our family. Also, my sisters Meghan and Allie. They have always supported me and helped me throughout the years and I just look up to them.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
My most memorable athletic moment was back in high school. During Senior Sectionals, one of my club swim meets, I was in a relay with some of my friends and we ended up getting 1st after being seeded 5th!
Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
My favorite meal is dinner, specifically chicken alfredo. I love it.
Breakfast: Chicken Minis
Lunch: Jersey Mikes #7
Dinner: Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli
What is the first app you check on your phone each day?
I check Snapchat first.
