About the Marauder 

• Why Millersville: It has been a childhood dream of mine to study in the United States. In 2019, I was fortunate enough to take part in the Millersville Super Sixty Camp, where I got the opportunity to meet Coach Shelly. We've maintained communication since then. She has eased my fears and anxiety of being in a foreign country. It has become clear to me that Millersville is an institution that cares for its students and tries to achieve balance between sports and academics. This has made Millersville University a compelling choice for me - a home away from home. 
• Off-the-field hobbies: I love cooking and I've recently started harvesting my own fruits and vegetables. 
• Interesting summer job or internship: Personal assistant
• Hidden talent: Drawing 
• Favorite pro athletes: Muhammad Ali 
• Favorite series to binge watch: Suits
• Pregame ritual: I must have my favorite breakfast, chocolate and peanut butter. Then, I put on my headphones and listen to an upbeat song that gets me pumped, followed by a very good warm up. 

Personal
