My favorite part about competing for Brandeis, other than my teammates, is:

Representing the entire Brandeis community and specifically the athletic department who has given me so much already.

The most important thing I have learned from coach Simon is:

You can either make excuses and give up or accept situations for what they are and fight to get what you want.

Outside of my sport, my favorite thing to do at Brandeis is:

I love to hang out with other teams and support them at their games.

My favorite professional athlete is:

Tom Brady because he came back from his ACL injury and has led his team countless times to winning seasons and he makes the rest of his team better.
