Q: WHY IS BASKETBALL SO MEANINGFUL TO YOU?
A: I have been going to Rutgers basketball games since I was a baby. I have always loved the game and everything around it. In high school, I am a basketball manager for the Boys Varsity Team. Every day now, I am always doing something related to basketball and it is a large part of my life.

Q: WHAT IS SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT YOU THAT SETS YOU APART FROM YOUR PEERS?
A: I am the longest tenured of all the managerial staff on the basketball team. As a manager, I make sure I am always locked up and concentrated during a game.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR YOUR FUTURE?
A: I want to continue my basketball career and become a basketball coach. I knew this immediately after becoming a manager as I clicked instantly with the position.

Q: HOW DO YOU SEE YOUR ROLE IN THE WORLD?
