As a graduate student, I am well aware of the work and dedication pursuing a passion entails. My current status in school already sets me aside from most other recruits. I have lived an accelerated lifestyle which included graduating from high school and college early and starting a graduate program at the age of 20. Chasing my dreams within the college of agriculture made me believe I did not have time to be a collegiate athlete. However, My passion for the sport has never left me and I hope to have the chance to compete again. My goals at this point are to push myself mentally and physically to attain a master and/or doctorate degree while competing as a collegiate athlete.
