Personal
Born to parents Robyn and Jeff โ€ฆ Has a younger brother, Nate โ€ฆ Lists Courtney Frerichs and Elle Purrier as athletes she admires โ€ฆ Her greatest pre-UCLA athletic thrill โ€œwas my last race of high school at Oregon track state. My teammates and I were in the 4x400 seeded in the slower heat. We ran for each other and we really just came together. We were then announced as 2nd overall in the 4x400. It was the most surprising but rewarding race and even better that it was shared with my 3 other teammatesโ€ โ€ฆ Her hobbies include being outdoors and swimming at cool spots, watching reality television, and trying new restaurants โ€ฆ Chose UCLA because โ€œI felt that it was the school that would push me out of my comfort zone so I can continue to grow. It challenges me in all aspects from athletics to academic with so many connections because of the LA area. Of course, itโ€™s also amazing sunny weatherโ€ โ€ฆ Plans to major in business economics with a career objective of working in marketing or PR.
