• Self-description in 10 words or less: "I am an athlete who has an inspiration for medicine"

• My personal athletic goal at VWC is: "to improve my skills and learn different events in track"
• It's the year 2030 and: "I will be working in a laboratory as a doctor, completing my theory for human body regeneration. People who have lost any body part would not need a fake part. They'd be able to grow it back"
• People might be surprised to know: "that I'm a great cook and that I am half German. I also play four musical instruments (flute, oboe, piccolo, piano)"
• If I could spend one day with a famous person from any time period it would be: "Ludwig Von Beethoven, because I have always wanted to know where he got inspiration for all of his great compositions"
• The best advice I've ever received is: "no matter how hard or difficult something can be, you don't know what you can accomplish until you try" -- biology teacher
