Why SCU?
For athletics and for the university's mission statement. I like the emphasis on service and educating the whole person.
Favorite Bronco memory?
My 21st birthday fell on the same weekend of team camp in Lake Tahoe. We spent two days running up beautiful yet insanely difficult trails, being present with one another, and creating inside jokes. It's a birthday that I'll always remember and cherish.

Intro to Ethnic Studies. It gave me a revolutionary perspective on myself and the world around me.
