My most memorable experience was scoring an overtime game-winning goal against Goucher during my sophomore soccer season. It was an amazing feeling to have my teammates rush out onto the field and have the crowd going wild for me.

What do you value most about your relationships with your professors? 

I value how much time out of class professors are willing to give to us. I have seen professors come in early, stay late and take on extra projects just to help out their students. To me that's special and it doesn't happen at every college.

What is something that surprised you about Hood? 

One thing that surprised me early in my first semester was how easy it was to make friends. Everyone wanted to be friends with everyone else and it was rare that people did not get along.

What was your most rewarding class or academic experience at Hood? Why? 

So far my most rewarding class has been calculus. It really taught me how to solve new problems on my own using skills I already had.

When you aren't in class, what is your favorite thing to do in your spare time? 

My biggest hobby is soccer. I play for Hood and when we are not in season I try to train and play soccer year round. I am also a member of the Ping-Pong and computer science clubs.

What is your favorite campus event? 

By far my favorite event(s) are the dances at Hood. Everybody goes and it is always a great night with a ton of fun.
