Why did you choose ONU?
I chose ONU because of the number of students. I love being able to walk to class and say hi to a few people on the way because it is a small campus. Here, I'm a student not a statistic and I know all of my professors are invested in the success of their students.
What is your most memorable moment @ ONU so far?
My most memorable at ONU so far was beating Capital because there was so much positive energy on the bench and on the field. Nothing can top the feeling of accomplishment shared among teammates.
What is your favorite thing about ONU soccer?
My favorite thing about ONU soccer is the way we become so close during the first few weeks of preseason and then support each other like a family throughout the rest of the year. Whether its pertaining to soccer, a class, or some other issue, I know that all of my teammates are there for me if I'm having a problem with something.

Working as a traveling nurse somewhere south.

FOOTBALL!!!!

Who on the team would you take with you on a cross country road trip? Why?

What food couldn’t you live without?
Without a doubt, ice cream.
