What are you most looking forward to this year?
I’m looking forward to being able to attend all my classes in person and have beneficial interactions while in class! Additionally, I’m looking forward to being able to practice with my teammates and have normal seasons of cross country and track & field. I'm also looking forward to the many dinners and conversation with friends in the dining service!

What is one of your favorite memories from your time in Cobber sports?
One of my favorite memories would have to be the 2020 indoor track & field conference championship, when we placed 2nd as a team. The Cobber spirit was very high on that day, and almost everyone on the team set a personal best on their events.

What is one of your favorite memories from your time at Concordia (non-sports related)?
One of my favorite memories is from the orientation week, and specially the Hands for Change volunteer activity that we did. The events during orientation have introduced me to many of my friends and to an organization that I have been able to volunteer for since my freshman year!

What is one of your favorite classes you’ve take ant Concordia and why?
One of my favorite classes to this point is Advanced Genetics with Dr. Pratt. I really enjoyed the class material, and the many experiments that my classmates and I have conducted throughout that class!

What advice would you give your younger yourself when you first moved into Concordia?
Be curious, ask questions, join a sport’s team or an organization, get out of your comfort zone and form those meaningful relationships!
