What are three things you wish you’d known as a freshman and would like to tell athletes in the Class of 2029?

I wish I’d known to embrace the community, network, and resources that Columbia has to offer—the people being paid to help you succeed will go out of their way to help you!

What’s your favorite team memory? 

Training trips—so many lovely team dinners!

What has being on a sports team at Columbia meant to you? 

It’s become so much of my identity as a student and taught me the power of being a self-starter.

Whom would you like to thank?

I would love to thank the strength and conditioning and training room staff, as well as the coaches and my teammates.

One thing you’d do if you had more time?

Go downtown more!
