- What is your favorite part of working in athletics? Working behind the scenes, helping others, and building relationships with student-athletes, coaches, and staff
- What’s the best advice you ever received? Always be the best you can be no matter what you are doing – my dad
- What’s your favorite IU memory? When I was a freshman walk-on for the UIndy women’s basketball team and we played IU in an exhibition game at Assembly Hall. I got in with a few minutes left in the game!
