1. What is the best part about being a Griff?
The best part of being a Griff is the whole team spirit. In Rowing and in other sports you can see, hear, and feel the dedication and the spirit throughout the athletes, coaches, and students.

2. What has been your favorite moment as a Canisius student-athlete?
My favorite moment so far as a student athlete has to be the September storm practice. It started off as a not bad day, turned into great. Then as soon as we were coming back to the boathouse it turned HORRIBLE! Waves coming every which way, raining, windy. It really came out of nowhere. And as soon as we docked... it was gorgeous out again!! We still joke around about that practice and how awesome it was.

3. What three words would you use to describe yourself?
Three words I would use to describe myself are dedicated, hard working, and competitive.

4. What is your favorite food?
It's weird but I LOVE carrots.

5. What was your favorite childhood toy?
My stuffed monkey Jo-Jo! I've had him since I was 6 years old.

6. What was your favorite childhood TV show?
The Powerpuff Girls.

7. What was it like competing this fall at the races?
I absolutely loved competing in races this fall. I love the whole race day atmosphere and pre-race jitters. I really think being on the road and having those races brought our team so much closer.

8. Why did you choose to attend Canisius?
Best school for my major, health and physical Education.

9. Where would you spend your dream vacation?
Italy, I would love to see where my family came from.

10. What is one interesting fact that people may not know about you?
I would rather spend a vacation climbing high peaks then spending it in a fancy hotel.
