What is your favorite place on campus? I enjoy eating lunch by Mirror Lake and taking my dog Zoe to the oval.
If you could stay a certain age forever, what would it be? I would say early 30’s. Things are starting to hurt, but you can still be active and have a combination of the wisdom and confidence to know when to stop. Also, I grew into my face then.
What is your most memorable experience or proudest accomplishment?
Most Memorable Experience: When I was twelve I won first place in all 5 events at a gymnastics tournament. Usually my Mom would take me to gymnastics, but I remember this time in particular, because my Dad took me, and he got to see me win.
Proudest Accomplishment: I am the first person in my family to graduate from college.
Where would we find you on the morning of a home football game? At home, enjoying my day off and doing what I need to do to have Sunday all to myself.
What do you think you will do after you retire? Honestly, I don’t really ever think about it, I have no idea. I am looking forward to being in a job where I don’t want to think about leaving it behind. I hope to be doing something where I can travel and be outdoors, even regionally.
Any other interesting facts?
A friend and I have started an annual tradition of going to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Southern California. So far we’ve been the past 3 years in a row.
Also, I don’t have Facebook and I don’t miss it.
