Q&A
1. Why did you decide to attend the University of Miami?
“I decided to attend the University of Miami because I felt that it was the right fit for me. I loved the atmosphere, the people, and school as a whole. Miami has a great nursing program, which is my major, and it’s not too far from home.”
2. What was the best aspect of being part of Miami’s Track & Field team so far?
“Spending time with the team and getting to know them is the best aspect of being a part of Miami’s Track and Field team.”
3. What are some of your goals for the season?
“My goals for this season are to improve from high school and to continue bettering myself.”
4. What do you feel was the biggest challenge you came across in since your arrival?
“My biggest challenge since my arrival is coming to a new place. I had to meet new people and become comfortable in a different environment.”
5. What is the biggest difference between your previous training and your training at the University of Miami?
“The biggest difference for me is the time. We train in the mornings here and I used to train after school in high school. Another major difference is that the practices are more individual, since there is less people, so we get more one-on-one coaching.”
6. What do you do to prepare right before a meet?
“To prepare for a meet, I make sure to stay hydrated for that week, try to have good practices, and eat healthy.”
7. What do you do away from practice and studying to relax?
“My idea of relaxing is sleeping, reading a good book, or hanging out with my friends and family.”
8. Three words to describe you and why?
“I’m humble because I appreciate everything in my life. I’m hard working because I strive to achieve my goals. Also, I’m patient, because all good things come to those who wait.”
