Why did you choose College of Marin?  

I am from Marin so I thought it would be a great opportunity to represent the place where I grew up. 

What are your academic/career goals? 

I plan on transferring to a four-year school after this year. After that, I have always dreamed of playing overseas. Eventually, I would like to get a MBA as well. 

How do you manage being a full-time student and an athlete?  

Time management. I usually try to get my schoolwork done earlier in the day since I know later in the day after trainings and practice I will be too tired. In addition I have learned to utilize my weekends to get ahead for the week. 

What do you enjoy about athletics? 

The opportunity to compete. In sports you really get to see what you’re made of and how you stack up. Also, some of my best friends have come from athletics and I have gotten to be a part of some great brotherhoods.
