You may see this girl hanging around the creative writing wing or on the tennis courts. Either way, stop by and say hello! She’s funny, kind and friendly!

Why did you decide to play tennis when you were younger?
I never really thought about playing a sport until my older brother started trying to when he was in high school. He started off playing soccer and lacrosse and eventually moved to tennis. I followed suit and ended up absolutely loving tennis and I stuck with it. I loved the people I played with as well, many of us are still friends today.
 
What made you want to play tennis in college?
Again, my brother played in college and I didn’t think it would be a bad thing doing the same. Especially since some of his friends knew (or heard of) me so I felt comfortable around the people. Not to mention, it’s a great way to meet new people and stay in shape.
 
 
Why did you decide to go to Oswego?
Many of my family members have gone to Oswego and they never really had anything bad to say about it. I just love the campus though, it feels like home. Not to mention I am close to home so that if I need a break or want to see my family I can be home within half an hour. 
 
What do you do outside of tennis?
Well, this semester has been really busy so I haven’t had much time to myself but I like to read, write, workout, and hang out with friends. Honestly, I’m pretty much game for anything for the most part.
 
What is your favorite food?
Cheeseburgers. 
 
What is your favorite tv show and why?
Supernatural. I can go on and on about why that show is my favorite but for right now I will just say the story, characters and themes of the show are absolutely fantastic (not to mention the cast members are pretty good guys). The eye candy that is Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki (main characters) certainly doesn’t hurt either.
 
What do you want to do after college?
I’m not entirely sure. I want to write and that’s about all I know so far. Definitely get some books published and maybe start a family at some point.
I'm a junior. I like to read, watch T.V. and sleep. Aaaand that's it.
