Where are you at right now?
I'm currently at my house in the Pocono Mountains in Eastern Pennsylvania.
How are you interacting with your teammates?
I've been talking with them over the phone, through text, a couple of group zoom calls and a lot of funny snap chats!
What advice would you give your fellow Hoosiers during this time?
The advice I would give is to use this time to get projects done or learn a skill that you have always wanted to but never seemed to have the time. Also, use this time to reflect on what is important to you and set some goals for yourself for the future.
What are you most looking forward to when you get back on the court?
I can't wait to get back and dogpile with my teammates after a big 4-3 win. It's the best feeling in the world and there is truly no feeling like it or way to describe.
How has the adjustment gone to online classes?
Being a senior I'm only in a total of six credits right now and are both pretty simple classes so the adjustment has been very easy and has given me time to work on other things.
What gives you encouragement and motivation during this time?
I've been encouraged by seeing all the cool things that people are doing in these times and the way people are coming together. This phase will end and we will be able to look back at it and I'm excited to be able to reflect on the positive impacts that this made on one another and the world.
What is something you and your family are doing to pass the time?
I have been playing a lot of Settlers of Catan and reading a lot of books.
What shows are you watching?
I'm in the middle of season 3 of West World on HBO and just started All American.
What is your major and what are your future career plans?
I am finishing up my major in Marketing and Sales and have just committed to taking my 5th year of eligibility and returning to play and getting my Masters of Finance at the Kelley School of Business starting this fall.
