What is your favorite part about UT?
I love how UT is more of community because of its size. You aren’t just a number, people actually know who you are and you get to network with people you wouldn’t be able to at a larger college!
Who is your celebrity crush?
 Massy Arias! She is a certified personal trainer/health coach/Fitness Model
What is one thing you can’t live without?
 I couldn’t live without The Gym.
What is one song that describes your life?
Know Yourself by Drake! “I was running through the 6 with my woes”
Do you have any hidden talents?
 I’m actually a good dancer!
Best advice ever given?
You can’t help a person fix themselves, they have to fix themselves.
What would you do with a million dollars?
Invest part of the money in an investment account, put some in savings, donate some to my church, City Life, and the rest I would spend! The first thing I would probably do is buy a new car! Â
What’s your passion?
My passion is health and fitness. I want my passion for it to inspire others to gain control of their lives. Working out and focusing on maintaining a healthy lifestyle allows me to channel any negative energy into a more positive one and I think more people could use working out as an escape from all the stress life seems to throw at us! I just started to work out seriously a year ago and it’s crazy to see how far I have come in such a short amount of time physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Most embarrassing thing that has happened to you on a date?
 I was on a date and I was trying to think of the perfect thing to say and I had so many ideas rushing through my mind that when I went to speak it all come out as gibberish and it sounded like a different language so I drank some water and went to the bathroom to try to regain my cool!
Favorite Place to Eat in Tampa?
Maloney’s Irish Pub!
