Getting to know Gerald...

My favorite part about competing for Brandeis, other than my teammates, is: the excitement to compete at the NCAA level. Going on training trips with coaches and teammates seems a lot of fun too

My goal for the 2021-2022 season is: to break 2 minutes in my 200 fly and to drop one second in my 100 fly

My favorite high school class was: US history because my teacher would not only talk about the social injustice in America past and present and what is to come for the future, but he also talks about how to have fun while learning. Movies and videos were always a driving factor.

The thing that attracted me most to Brandeis was: their variety of classes in business and research. With a small population on campus, I would be able to connect to the professors a lot easier than most colleges. 

Something new I learned during COVID-19: How to bake cream puffs

My favorite place to travel is: Manhattan

I want to study abroad in: Japan because I want to learn their culture

My summer job/experience was: Lifeguarding

My dream job is: Doctor or CEO of my own company because I want to have a job that directly impacts the people around me

My favorite movie of all time is: Borat! Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

My favorite TV Show is: Impractical Jokers

My favorite song is: Lose Yourself by Eminem

My favorite book is: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey

Performer who would play me in the movie of my life: Stephen Chow

If I could time travel, the era I would go to would be: The future because the past can never be changed

My favorite college sports team is: The Florida Gators because Caeleb Dressel went there
