Q. Why I Chose Boston University:
A- I chose Boston University because I liked the school, the city, the coaching staff, and the players, in addition to it being relatively close to home. I wanted my family to be able to see me play the game I grew up with and loved.
Q. Favorite class and why:
A- My favorite class was PE566 (Coaching Young Athletes). Not only was I able to understand the role a coach has in developing athletes, but as a class we helped coach youth soccer camp and also designed a field day for inner city elementary students, which we were responsible for running.
Q. One thing I have learned at Boston University that I will carry with me for the rest of my life is:
A- Everyday you must make yourself better whether it is mentally, physically, etc. you just have to continually progress, and never get stagnate.
Q. My Dream Job, other than the NBA/WNBA, is:
A- As an Urban Affairs major, I would want to work with inner city children. Children are the future so we must guide them in the right direction.
Q. The person, other than my parents, who has had the most influence on me is, and why:
A- If we are not talking about family, I would have to say Coach Wolff. His love for the game is similar to mine and everyday he makes you want to go in and work extremely hard to be the best individual and player you can possibly be.
Q. The best thing about being a BU Terrier is:
A- The best part about being a Terrier is I am part of a large family of athletes that are willing to support each other.
Q. Most memorable moment as an athlete:
A- Experiencing John (Holland) or Corey (Lowe) set a game on fire, sometimes you just enjoy watching your friends prosper.
Q. What I did this week as a student (classes, tests, projects, study hall):
A- No tests this week, but I am giving a presentation on the development of underdeveloped cities.
Q. What I did this week as an athlete (practice, games):
A- Being an injured athlete, the only thing I am able to do is watch my team and wish the best for them. I workout regularly but that never beats a practice or a game for that matter.
Q. Based upon my experiences growing up, my advice for young kids about school and athletics is:
A- From day one, never give up. Give 100% to everything that you encounter whether it is school or sports. Hard work will always lead you in the path where you want to be.
Q. Why I am looking forward to the America East Basketball Championship:
A- The America East Championship separates the platinum from the bronze. THE BEST WILL WIN OUT!
