When you were 10 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I played and watched a lot of sports. My favorite has always been baseball, and I wanted to play in the MLB!

A social cause you care deeply about and why?

I have had a soft spot in my heart for the homeless. I always get sad when I see them and wish that I could do more to help them.

If you could earn a living doing anything else, what would it be?

I would love to get paid to travel and visit sports stadiums, fields, or arenas! I love visiting new and exciting places, and it would be a dream to make a living traveling all over the world going to a wide variety of sports events!

You can invite 3 people from either present day or history to break bread with, who would it be and why?

Being the huge sports fan that I am, I would love to meet my favorite player every from each sport I enjoy watching. The first would be Ladanian Tomlinson who played for the San Diego Chargers for a long time. I loved how he played the game and I looked forward to every Sunday to watch him on the field. The second would be Kobe Bryant who played for Los Angeles Lakers and was an icon in the basketball world. His fierce competitive spirit and leadership was something I looked up to. Lastly, Fernando Tatis Jr. is my current favorite player in the MLB and plays for the San Diego Padres. He is a very exciting and dynamic player and always a blast to see.

In 5 words, describe yourself? (must use all 5….no more…no less)

Intelligent, empathetic, thoughtful, competitive, athletic.
