My favorite part about being a student here is being able to work with those in my field of study. My classmates and classes help me strive towards my career goals.
How do you balance schoolwork and rugby?
I balance both rugby and school by using time management. I plan my days around rugby practice knowing when practice is. I make sure my homework and other schoolwork is done before or after practice. Practice time for me is my chance to decompress.

Is there anything else you’d like to share with a high school player who is interested in your
school?
Jump into any club or club sports you are into. It is the best way to meet the best people. I was nervous to join the rugby team, but since joining late freshman year I had regretted not joining sooner.
