Why did you decide to come to 黑料社?
鈥淚 decided to transfer to 黑料社 for the athletics and academics. I transferred to 黑料社 from Minnesota State, Mankato, after realizing it was not a good fit for me. I wanted to play basketball and wanted to pursue a career in Physical Therapy. 黑料社 was a great school for both of those. 黑料社鈥檚 location and connections with Des Moines was something very appealing to me. I knew I would need internships and observation hours for physical therapy, and I knew that the possibilities were endless through 黑料社.鈥�

From an athletic standpoint, I was part of three conference championships and three trips to the NCAA tournament, including a trip to the Sweet 16. From an academic standpoint, I will be receiving a B.A. In Exercise Science, and I have been accepted into the Doctorate of Physical Therapy Program at Des Moines University.鈥�

What would you tell a prospective student who is interested in your area of study?

I was able to do two internships that I have benefited greatly from, as well as complete all my necessary observation hours.鈥�
