Auggie Athlete FAQs
Career Goal: I get ask this question a lot, especially with a communications major. Many don't know what can that do. A career that I am looking for is to work with the youth in any way possible. To become a role model and a guide to the ones that aren't able to have that.
Why did I choose to attend Augsburg? Augsburg is one of the most diverse universities in the Twins City area. 
Athletic Goal at Augsburg: One of my goals is to beat my PR from last years. 
Biggest Thrill in Athletics: I love the feeling when you get into the line. I feel like the whole world and time slows down. A lot of things go through my head yet I am able to focus once I take off. 
What is a little known fact about yourself? I was on local television. 
Any interesting, non-athletic hobbies, talents or unusual facts about yourself? I feel like I'm a diverse person. I love things from fixing bikes to cooking Mexican dishes, working on cars to enjoying playing the guitar. 
What are you most thankful for? I am thankful for my parents. They sacrifice a lot for me to be in the shoes that I am today.Â
