How did you find out about Manor College?

I found out about Manor College from an old friend I had from high school who goes to Manor. I chose Manor because of the athletics, the amazing Criminal Justice program and the support from the professors. Most important to me, I chose Manor because of the care that I did not have at my old school. 

What is the earliest sports memory you have?

The earliest memory of sports I have is playing soccer at four years old. As I played, I realized how competitive I am and how much I loved the feeling. I remember watching Sunday Night Football with my Dad and feeling the excitement I had for the game.

What are your favorite sports teams?

The Eagles, the Phillies and any college football game.

When did you pick up track and what made you stick with it?

I picked up track during my sophomore year of high school when my soccer coach told me how fast I was. It motivated me to join the team for my high school. Eventually, I placed in the top 10 for districts for Cross Country. The adrenaline of the race and having goals of being the best runner I can be motivated me to stick with it in college. 

If you could have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

It would be spicy fish tacos because I love spicy foods. 

If you could have one dinner with any four people throughout history, who would it be and why?

Katherine Switzer. She was the first woman to run in the Boston Marathon. Many males who ran tried to stop her and hit her because she was a woman competing in the race. Fifty years later, she did it again. Robin Williams, because he made everyone laugh no matter how bad they were hurting. He is a huge role model for me. Jane Austin and Princess Diana.
