Favorite Athletic Memories
There isn't one moment that comes to mind but rather my favorite memory of my athletic career at Kzoo was the relationships I made with my coaches, athletic training staff, and teammates. The bonds that were built through playing sports together are lifelong and a major part of my life to this day.
Competing at K
Playing sports at K taught me how to be disciplined, work hard, and be a good teammate. These attributes fostered during my time at Kzoo have been paramount in reaching my goals in my career and family life.
Other Campus Involvements
Athletic Leadership Council, Facilities Management Work Study, Admissions Ambassador, Athletic Training Room Student Assistant
Other K Experiences
Besides athletics, my most meaningful experience would have to be my time spent working in the athletic training room as a student assistant. Getting to work with athletes and help them recuperate from injuries was very rewarding. It inspired me to want to continue to take care of athletes and is why I have pursued a career as an orthopaedic sports medicine specialist.
