Personal
Born March 15, 1999, in Simi Valley…Daughter of Eric and Judy…Has two siblings, Amanda and Eric…The person she most admires in the sports world is heptathlete Chari Hawkins (“She’s an inspiring athlete. The fact that she has mastered seven events is cool enough, but she also approaches track with a fun and positive attitude, like I do. She is also very interactive with her fans and has even responded to a few of my messages”)…Favorite course at Chico State is Genetics, taught by Kristen Gorman…Chose to attend Chico State “because of the team dynamic and family-like environment. It is a beautiful place to be, and the community feels very close-knit and comfortable”…Her greatest sports moment was scoring 56 points at the first conference meet of the 2020 season (“I had a PR in six events and placed either first or second. This was exciting for me because I had taken a redshirt year and had been waiting to compete again, and this allowed me to see how far I had come in that amount of time”)…The most interesting thing she’s ever done is “ATVing in Mexico on the cliff overlooking the beach”)…The most impressive thing she’s ever accomplished is learning seven new track & field events in college…Has learned by competing in track & field that “you get out of life what you put into it. This includes sports, school, relationships and everything else. As long as you work your hardest and do your best every day, something valuable will come from your experience”…Enjoys hiking, reading, and going to the beach when she has some free time…Considers cooking one of her biggest non-sports talents…Collects vinyl records…At the top of her bucket list: “Seeing Radiohead in concert”…Best advice ever received came from her dad: “Work hard every day and do everything with a positive attitude”…Majoring in cellular and molecular biology…Plans to continue on to medical school.
