A: One thing that I have learned at UAlbany that I will carry with me for the rest of my life is time management. As a student-athlete I have many responsibilities. I have to go to class, keep up with my academics, go to practice and travel to go to games. Learning how to manage my time and balance all of my responsibilities is challenging but these skills will carry over into different parts of my life after I graduate from college.

Q: Most memorable moment as an athlete...
A: My most memorable moment as an athlete is when I played in the senior All-Start game in high school. Given that I am only a freshman at UAlbany, I don’t have any huge moments here as an athlete but I expect them to come in the future. I hope I’m able to accomplish a lot throughout my time here at UAlbany and I hope to have a better answer to this question by the time I graduate. I’d love to say that winning a conference championship is my most memorable moment as an athlete.
Q: What I did this week as a student (classes, tests, projects, study hall)...
A: Since we are on winter break right now, I didn’t have any responsibilities as a student, only as an athlete. During the academic year, my typical week as a student consisted of going to class, taking notes, studying for exams, writing papers and completing assignments. As soon as winter break is over, I’m sure I’ll get back to the everyday responsibilities of being a student at UAlbany.
Q: What I did this week as an athlete (practice, games)...

Q: Based upon my experiences growing up, my advice for young kids about school and athletics is...
A: Based upon my experiences growing up, my advice for young kinds about school and athletics is to always put school first and athletics second. This is important because in college, you cannot play sports if your grades aren’t good. I would also say to work hard on your skills, whether they are academic skills or athletically related skills. Developing a strong work ethic when you are young is important to be successful.
