Why did you choose Bethel College? I went to a missionary church, my mother and sister both went here, and it seemed to be the best option for nursing.

What is your Proudest Athletic Achievement? Sticking with tennis in high school even though I was by far the worst player my freshman year.I remember going home crying because I was so frustrated, but I stuck with it. By my junior year, I became one of the best players on the team. My senior year, I was the only player from John Glenn to beat anyone from Plymouth in years, which was a big deal. We usually come away from Plymouth with scores of 0-6;0-6 all the way down the line.
