1. Major: Sport and Recreation Management graduate student; Received undergraduate degree in Sport Management with a minor in Athletic Coaching

2. Current job: Full-time student-athlete (Track & Field). I work with the Sports Information Department and I also work the home games for the Cleveland Browns.

3. Hometown: Cave Junction, Oregon (population now raising to maybe 2,000)

4. Future plans after Kent: I would like to pursue a career in professional sports. I want to work one-on-one with the athletes in public/media relations.

5. What have you learned about yourself since being at Kent? I have learned a lot since I came to Kent. Not only has my independence been highlighted, but I also learned that regardless of mistakes made, there is always a way to make them up and learn. I believe that I have gained a lot of skills through the responsibilities of being a student-athlete that will help me throughout my professional career.

6. What made you choose this university/major? I came to Kent to play softball. Not only was the team inviting, but I also found the campus beautiful and I really liked the idea of getting far away from where I grew up.

7. Interesting fact about yourself and/or hobbies? In the Summer 2008 I played professional softball with the Akron Racers.

8. What advice would you give to others students who plan on becoming a student-athlete? Take advantage of your opportunities that you make for yourself and that are given to you because you never know if they will come again. You don't want to pass them up, especially if they will benefit you years down the road.

9. What has been your most memorable moment as a student-athlete? Aside from all of the people that I have met and the memories of playing softball for four years, at a competitive level, winning back-to-back-to-back MAC Championship titles was the most memorable. It's great to commit to something and have a successful result.
