Auggie Athlete FAQ:
Career Goal? My career goal is to become a psychologist with my own private practice. I want to be able to help people win their mental battles with life, as it’s something I’ve struggled with myself and want to specialize in it. 
Why did I choose to attend Augsburg? I chose to attend Augsburg because the wrestling team is solid. There are world level athletes and you don’t see that a lot at the collegiate level. There is also an RTC at the school and the location is beautiful.
Athletic Goal at Augsburg? My athletic goal at Augsburg is to get to the world level. I hope to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Trials, make the team, and bring home Olympic gold. It is a lofty goal but something I believe that is achievable with the training that Augsburg offers.
Biggest Thrill in Athletics? My biggest thrill in wrestling was making it to the state finals by all pins after having an immune illness that prevented me from wrestling for 6 months.
What differentiates you from teammates or other students? I am different than other students because I am very good at time management, which helps me to get a 4.0 gpa and continue to excel in wrestling. I manage my time in a planner and no day is complete if I didn’t get an extra 2 hours of training after practice. 
What is a little known fact about yourself? A fact about myself is that I play music by ear. This means that I can hear a song and play it on a piano without learning how to read the sheet music.
List any interesting, non-athletic hobbies, talents or unusual facts about yourself? I am a nail technician off the mat. I am able to do long and crazy fake nails, painting anything from simple cheetah print to anime scenes on nails. This artistry also translates from nails to painting on canvases, which I am also pretty skilled at.
What are you most thankful for? I am most thankful for my family and the opportunities I get to wrestle and train at high levels.
