3. How has Asbury impacted you life?
Asbury invested immensely in me as a student. The moment I first visited I knew it was home and every time since, as I drive up Macklem Drive, I have the same feeling. As a student I engaged in everything I could get my hands on. I was involved in athletics, residence life, admissions, and with research with my professors. Asbury's community poured deeply into my life and unified my calling to follow Christ and my desire to perform excellently as a student. The coursework at Asbury prepared me well for the rigors of graduate school and being involved in the athletic department cultivate my passion to serve athletes as a healthcare provider.
 
At Asbury, I also met my best friend and the love of my life Sarah "Percy" ('17). Sarah was a member of the women soccer team.
 
4. What is your current occupation?
I am completing my final year in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at the University of North Georgia and currently am on an orthopedic clinical rotation. Sports have remained a passion even after finishing my athletic career at Asbury. I will be graduating this upcoming May and am in the process of applying to several sports residencies to continue my development as an effective sports medicine provider. In addition to pursuits in physical therapy, I am also a performance specialist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach.
 
5. Favorite Asbury athletics memory?
Winning my first race after returning to swim with the team in the fall of my junior year. I was passenger in a horrific car accident and sustained a broken rib, collapsed lung, and a concussion. The team was there for me every step of the way during my recovery and gave me the motivation to not give up. I returned five weeks later swimming at a duel meet at the Luce. My first race was the 200 Breaststroke. I fell behind off the start, but fought back for the win gaining the lead in the last 50 meters. Once I finished, Coach Keyser ran up and hugged me. I'll never forget that moment.
