Q: Why did you choose the Tribe?
A: Is there really any other choice? Legitimately, I knew I would succeed as a student and an athlete while at William & Mary. Also, the coaches and support staff can’t be compared to those at any other school; the decision was simple.
Q: Describe a moment when you felt the most Tribe pride...
A: I’m not sure yet, but I’m sure that there will be plenty of them!
Q: Take us through your pre-game mental preparation routine:
A: I focus on my upcoming race and while stretch while wearing my team warm-ups and listening to my iPod with my noise-blocking headphones.
Q: Do you belong to any other clubs, groups, or organizations?
A: Not as of right now.
Q: What are some community activities you or your team have done?
A: I’m not sure because I haven’t participated in any yet.
Q: What is your intended or declared major and why?
A: My intended major is Kinesiology because I have always been tremendously interested in the medical field.
Q: Describe your dream job:
A: Working as a Physician’s Assistant in a Pediatrician’s office or working as a nurse anesthetist because I enjoy helping others.
Q: If you could play another sport at W&M what would it be and why?
A: Lacrosse, because I can be physically aggressive when I need to be and I just feel like I’d be good at it.
Q: Favorite team tradition/activity and why?
A: I’m not sure yet, because I haven’t experienced any of them.
Q: Which teammate will have the most interesting job in 10 years and why?
A: I can’t really say because I don’t know my teammates well enough to make an accurate prediction.
Q: What animal would best describe you and why?
A: As corny as this may seem, I would have to say a dog. I have a lot of energy, I’m nice to whoever comes my way, and I can sleep just about anywhere.
