If you could have a super power what would it be and why: Tough one…Either x-ray vision which would make my job so much easier dealing with injuries or I'd take Super speed so I could be everywhere I needed to be quickly and not waste any time

Favorite memory in athletics: I've got two: As an athletic training student at Iowa State, the women's basketball team made it to the NCAA tournament and we traveled to UCONN to play Syracuse. It was so cool to be a part of that. Last year when the men's volleyball team beat MSOE who was a top-15 ranked team in the country at that point, that was an awesome win to be a part of.
