What is your favorite Triton sport? I am a HUGE golf fan, but I'd have to say our Roller Hockey games are exciting to watch!

What is on your iPod? I am pretty eclectic. I have everything from Mercy Me to Linkin Park. Currently, I am listening to a lot of The Script and Coldplay.

What advice do you have for entering Freshmen? College is a very exciting time, but it can also be a rough transition. Don't go it alone. Make connections on campus with faculty, other students, student groups - you name it! Just get plugged in and enjoy yourself!
