Favorite WSU experience

Winning the Pac-12 championship was a highlight of my WSU career. It was something I never thought I would achieve. The love and support that I got from my teammates and my coaches, and the university, was amazing. I got to go down to the field at a football game and wave at the crowd.

Future plans

I am applying to an accelerated nursing program. Hopefully I graduate after the one-year program, I will become an ICU nurse. My dad is a CRNA, a nurse anesthetist, and I hope to follow in his footsteps and that’s the first part of my future.
