1. Why did you choose SMWC?
I chose SMWC because of the teachers and football staff here. Everyone is here to help you reach your highest potential and offer the best opportunity while you’re here.  The coaching staff for football was so welcoming to me. 

2. Why did you choose your major?
I chose Kinesiology because I have always had an interest in sports, fitness and helping people become better physically and mentally. Being involved in football also helped me realize that I wanted a career connected to athletics. Kinesiology gives me the opportunity to learn about the human body, exercise, recreation and ways to help others stay active and healthy. This degree can prepare me for my future goals in coaching, athletics and recreation. 

3. What is your favorite place on campus?
My favorite place on campus would have to be Le Fer Hall because that’s where all my friends live. 

4. What is a favorite memory you have from your Woods experience?
My favorite memory from my Woods experience would be winning the championship with my team. 

5. How do you plan to stay connected to SMWC after graduating?
I plan on staying connected to SMWC after I graduate by attending athletic events when it fits my schedule, and also by being active in the community in ways that I can, even when living away from The Woods.
