家外之家
The professors and my peers are personable. At Mount Union you are not treated like a simple student because the professors and staff care about you and establish a relationship with you. Dr. Lori Braa has helped me throughout my four years in college. She has been part of every step in my journey to success. When I was an underclassman, she challenged me in classes and prepared me for the real world. Dr. Braa encouraged me to start the Mental Wealth Champs podcast for my practicum.
I chose to attend Mount Union because I heard about their great football program. Although Mount Union made me feel comfortable with the uncomfortable, as it is far away from home. 多年来, I've formed long-lasting friendships and an amazing support system that will leave with me upon graduation.

体育事业的职业生涯
I have been playing sports since I was four years old, so I know what athletes go through on a daily basis. I experienced some medical issues and hardships which led me to step away from football early in college. 带着我所面对的一切, I believe I can help athletes navigate the difficult times within their career and help them better their mental health. I would like to be a sports psychologist because I enjoy counseling and helping people accomplish their goals. I've always been empathetic and really care about establishing meaningful connections with people.
