What made you choose to come to RCSJ? 

I wanted to save money while figuring out what career path I would like to take in the future.

What has been your favorite part about being a student-athlete in our program?

My favorite part about being a student-athlete is representing the school with cool merch but also having the coaches understand if there is a conflict with practices and class or schoolwork.

What are some things you are doing to stay on top of your classes? 

I made a checklist of all the assignments that I have to do in order to complete the semester.

Who has had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at RCSJ-Gloucester? 

Definitely Coach Hughes. He reached out to me when I had no intentions of running cross country in college, but he convinced me to join. Being a part of that team is now my favorite college memory.  He always knows how to make us laugh and have a good time while pushing us to be our best.

What is your plan for next year? 

Work hard academically and athletically to graduate next spring and transfer to another school, hopefully continuing my running career!
