Bio

BIO

"Smiling face with sunglasses"

Career plans/dreams/ideas?

"Freelance photographer and/or manager of a company's social media or website."

If you were a state, which state would you be and why?

"Waffles with butter and brown sugar."

Do you have any pregame or gameday rituals?

"Drink lots of water."

Complete this sentence: "Good leaders ________?"

"...put individuals before themselves. Leaders are in a position to guide, encourage, and lead by example. They should be a person with a moral compass and should be steadfast in their beliefs. A good leader is also a mentor and a protector of their people and someone who will not allow bad behavior to be left unchecked, no matter who it is coming from."

What attracts you to MBU?

"Joel Smith's 'monkey mode' dance."

NON-FRESHMAN: What's a great MBU memory off the field/court?
