What do you like most about your sport?

Golf is very individual, there's no one to blame but yourself. As much as it is mentally challenging, it's so incredibly rewarding when preforming well. You get the best of both worlds, the team aspect is still there and just as good as other sports but playing individually is also part of the fun.

What made you choose BVU?

When I was on my initial visit, the environment was something I hadn't experienced elsewhere. Everyone I met was so incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The D3 philosophy of high academic achievement falls right in line with what my goals for college, along with being able to compete my sport at a competitive level.

Describe your average pregame ritual.

• I typically go for a pop tart for breakfast the morning before.
• A good hype/fun playlist on the way to a meet.
• Right before we start warm-ups I'll drink a baby gatorade but it has to be orange.
