How has your semester been?
This last semester, Fall 2020, was very challenging. It was difficult to balance responsibilities I had at home and school. I also found it difficult to stay grounded through online classes and the lack of athletic competition. Looking forward to Spring 2020!

What kind of training have you done with your team?   
We have stayed in communication and have been sent workouts to stay active and prepared for the upcoming season.

Are there any community service activities that you have been involved in?
Although COVID-19 has made it difficult to serve the community in ways that we are used to, NDMU's SAAC was able to raise $500 to donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through our annual bingo night!

Are there any fun facts about yourself that you are willing to share?
My long term goal is to become an orthopedic surgeon in U.S. Army!

What do you like most about being a student-athlete at your institution?
At Notre Dame of Maryland, you are truly a student-athlete. As a bio pre-med student, my academic goals have to come first and I am never asked to compromise them. I have always been supported by the athletic department to preform my best whether on the field or in the classroom.
