“If I had to choose between skiing and biking, it would be tough because I feel they go hand in hand with each other. But in the end, I would choose skiing just because the risk is lower. How do they go hand in hand? I feel like Skiing and mountain biking both have such a connection to the mountains. They both wind through the trees and the harsh mountain environments. Also, both sports provide adrenaline and the connection with your equipment that pushes you to go further and faster.
“I think my dad has been the most important person who has helped me during my time in Northwood. Firstly, he helped me decide to go to Northwood for a better education and the opportunities it offers. He also supported my decision to play soccer year-round instead of doing both ski racing and soccer, which was a significant turning point during my time at Northwood because I had done both my entire life, and giving up one felt like giving up a piece of myself.
“I’m a person who is 50/50 if pineapple belongs on pizza. It really depends on what I’m in the mood for.
“Something about me that not a lot of people know is that I used to be a pretty good lacrosse player in my old school.”
