Who is your all-time favorite athlete and why?
Babe Ruth for two reasons. First my great-great uncle went to school with him when they were teenagers and Babe looked out for my uncle while they were students. Secondly, he revolutionized baseball to truly make it America's national pastime.
What is your favorite class and why?
Dr. Berry's Voting, Campaigns, and Elections political science course. I took the class during the winter of 2016 so I had an in-depth analysis of what was happening in the presidential primaries and got to see how the conventional rules of American political campaigns got thrown out the window.
Who is your favorite professor and why?
Dr. Justin Berry. I've taken five political science classes with Dr. Berry and I've learned an extensive amount in regards to American politics. He is extremely encouraging of student athletes and I think he is a great example of professors working with student athletes to make their schedules work. I would also like to give shout outs to Dr. Menelik Geremew, my advisor, for being a great help to me academically and professionally and Dr. Hannah Apps for the extensive help she gave me in finding a SIP topic.
