Why did you choose to come to Moravian College?

I only needed one visit to Moravian to decide that this was the school I was going to attend.  I liked the size of the school and the small class size, giving students easy access to professors.  The campus was gorgeous and I had the opportunity to play soccer here so that sealed the deal for me.

What is you major and how did you decide on it?

I'm an accounting major and I've always known that that's what I wanted to pursue.  I took an introductory course in high school and I loved it.  Having a degree in accounting will allow me to go into any field of business and I like knowing that I have a lot of options.

What has been your favorite course at Moravian and why?

My favorite course has been Economics and Business Statistics.  I've always enjoyed statistics courses and learning about probability.  The class was very interesting and I really enjoyed going.

What are your plans for the future once you finish your degree at Moravian?

Once I graduate, I plan on attending a graduate school in Philadelphia and earning my Masters in Business Administration.

What is your most memorable moment as a Greyhound?

My most memorable moment was definitely winning the conference championship on our home field last season!  It was amazing because not only was it the first landmark conference championship our team has ever won, but it was also the first conference championship in general we've ever won.

How has being an athlete helped you as a student?

Being an athlete here has made me manage my time wisely.  I'm used to getting all my work done ahead of time to offset a demanding athletic schedule.

What advice do you have for a prospective Moravian College student-athlete?

I would tell them to go into every practice and every game like it's your last.  When people tell you that your four years in college go quickly, they're not lying.
