Q&A

• Her favorite course at Chico State is BIO 103 Anatomy with Professor Gary Lechner
• She did not list a favorite athlete
• She chose Chico State because it felt like home, with a welcoming team culture, close proximity to family, and a beautiful natural environment that made her feel comfortable and excited about her future
• Her greatest sports moment so far was qualifying for the state meet with her team in 2024, pushing herself to the finish line and realizing the hard work had paid off
• Outside of running, her best talent was not listed
• The best advice she has ever received came from her high school coach: to view every challenge as a blessing and to give her full effort in everything she does, choosing to be “tired and happy” rather than “tired and upset”
