ACCOMPLISHMENTS
MIAA Academic Honor Roll (2019)

GET TO KNOW
Why did you choose to attend Hope College? I chose to attend Hope was because of the outstanding science programs, the strong sense of community, and most importantly the people. After my visit, I knew that I would have the opportunity to make life long friends here as well as get a degree that would help me get into graduate school and pursue a career in the medical field.

What were your favorite subjects in high school? Biology & math

Name a role model or models who have impacted your life? And describe how. All of my uncles were huge role models in my life. My family has always been big into sports, whether it be coaching or playing, therefore growing up my uncles always taught me through example what it means to compete, work hard, and be a man of integrity both on and off the field.

List a favorite Bible verse and why it is meaningful to you. Proverbs 5: 3-4 - I have dealt with a number of serious injuries in my life time and this verse has always gotten me through them. Whenever I had doubts about whether or not I should continue playing sports, it always reminded me that God had a plan for me and everything was going to be alright.

What is your favorite pregame meal or snack? I try not to eat a lot right before games, but I would have to say that a Jimmy Johns #4 about an hour and a half before game time is normally my go to.

What type of pregame music do you enjoy? I usually listen to either rap or country depending on my mood.

What is the best advice you’ve ever received? To give 100% effort in everything you do. I know it sounds basic but when you are giving it your all, good things will eventually happen, and when your goals are finally achieved you get an overwhelming sense of accomplishment that you won't get when things are handed to you.
