Favorite thing about Baylor: My favorite thing about Baylor is watching our sports teams compete. I love sports and watching prime Division I sports for the school I love has been a dream. Nothing beats a Saturday afternoon in McLane Stadium!

Favorite places in Waco: Waco is full of great things to do, but I especially enjoy the cool food spots and entertainment. Shorty's Pizza, Slow Rise on the Brazos, and Alpha Omega are my top three food places (highly recommend). A short drive south leads you to TopGolf, Main Event, and a Cinemark theater all in the same parking lot.

What inspires me: I am inspired by my family, friends and faith.

Favorite hobbies: I love sports, going to the beach and spending time with family and friends. Combine all three for my dream day!

Fun facts about me: I am left-handed and have never traveled outside the United States.

My advice to you: My first piece of advice is to visit campus. There is no comparison to stepping foot on a college campus and getting a feel for it. Also, stay true to yourself and allow yourself to find new experiences naturally.
