What makes you different?
I pride myself on my versatility and my ability to play any position I am needed to by the team. I strive to be proactive; I don’t feel comfortable in a match unless I know the rules inside out. I want to get the upper hand before the teams even walk out.
Why do you want to compete in college?
I have had a passion for rugby since the age of six. I want to compete on a platform that would give me the potential to go professional.
College Goals?
I want to be a part of a culture or team that is bigger than myself. I would like my team to win a national championship. If my rugby career doesn’t go further than college I would like a business degree that puts in a great position for working at top firms.
Anything else we should know?
I enjoy playing the piano.
After a long day, I find that an hour at the golf range is very relaxing.
