Personal: Enjoys architecture, as well as drawing and painting. Sunsets are my favorite time of the day. Eating is one of my hobbies.

Why CMU?: I loved the campus and what academics CMU has to offer for my future. I felt very welcomed into one big family the minute I met my team and the coaching staff.
