Personal: I have one brother and my parents are Bob and Penny Thompson. I have a Labradoodle named Ratchet. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music, thrift shopping, and rollerblading around Mt. Pleasant.
Why CMU?: I chose CMU because it felt like home when I came on my visit. The people here truly care about everyone's well being. The coaching staff and team were very inviting, and I felt as though I could prosper at CMU both as a student, and as an athlete.
