WHY I CHOSE KNOX
I choose Knox because I loved the close knit atmosphere. I loved the campus, was always looking for a red brick cmapus. The sports really drew me in, knowing that I could still play but also focus on my education. The small class size was what I was used to in high school and wanted to continue to have thy.

WHEN I'M NOT AT THE GYM/FIELD YOU CAN FIND ME
Hanging out in my apartment or at other club meetings around campus!

FAVORITE KNOX MEMORY
Finally hitting sub 8 seconds in the 60m indoor dash my sophomore year. Or finding my home on campus in my sorority.

FAVORITE FOOD
Garlic bread

WHY I LOVE MY SPORT
I love my sport because it’s pushes me as much mentally as it does physically. I have to believe I can push my self harder in order to succeed.

CAREER GOALS
I am trying to figure that out. I really like the administration and operational parts of my job as president, I also still really enjoy science and chemistry so hopefully something that combines those!

GREATEST ATHLETIC ACCOMPLISHMENT SO FAR
Holding 6 school records I think.
