• My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: "I've always been the underdog when I run and I love exceeding everyone's expectations, including my own"
• It's the year 2030 and I am doing this...: "I can see myself being a track and field coach at a university or high school; I love running and would like to use some of my experiences whether it be from the Navy or when I was running track to help students achieve their dreams"
