Why did you choose Drew University?
I chose Drew University because of the academics and also I felt that it would've been a great fit for me after meeting the coaches and players in the basketball program.

I chose Economics after my sophomore year because it was the most interesting and my favorite course so far has been Money and Banking.

What is your most memorable moment as a Ranger?
My most memorable moment as a ranger is when we were playing Moravian my freshman year and they hit a three with 5 seconds to go to tie the game and the ball was quickly inbounded to me and I passed it full court to Terrell who hit the lay-up to win the game as time expired.

How has being an athlete helped you as a student and in the classroom?
Being an athlete has helped me in the classroom by teaching me how to manage my time, which helps when multiple assignments are due and also in developing a good work ethic.

What is the most difficult part of your sport?
Is coming into practice everyday with the same focus and same dedication to continue to get better and help the team win.
