Why did you choose UWL?
I chose UWL because I believed in what Coach Karen (Middleton) and Coach Jo (Streed) were trying to build and I wanted to be part of that process.
Who influenced you the most during your time at UWL?
Coach Karen influenced me the most during my time. I learned so much from her and value those lessons so much.
How did your undergraduate experience at UWL impact what you are doing in your career now?
My time at UWL influenced me to pursue a career in coaching/teaching. The lasting impact my coaches and UWL had on me is something I will never forget and wish to try and replicate as a coach.
What is your most fond memory while being at UWL as a student?
Not a specific moment, but I always enjoy reminiscing on the memories I made with my teammates.
What are you most proud of about your undergrad years now that you have graduated?
I take pride in being an alum of not only a great basketball program but also a great overall school/town. I feel so lucky to have spent my undergrad years there!
What advice would you give current UWL student-athletes?
Find a way to get better and enjoy the grind every single day. In season and during the off-season. You will miss the process once it is gone. You never want to leave a situation thinking you could’ve done more to be better for your team!
