Which coaches have had the most influence on you? Why? Honestly, every coach I’ve had since I was a little kid have had a part in helping me become the best I can be. They have all been great people. This is true for RCWLL, RCELL, my dad especially through that process, and every coach I’ve had at TISD. My coaches at Lee are great and Coach Boxley has been a great coach to me and my teammates for these four years.

Who is your favorite teacher? I can’t ever choose just one of my teachers at Lee. Number one, two of my favorites are married. (Physics and Debate) and I have so many other favorites too. I have had the greatest group of teachers who have prepared me for college. I am so thankful for every teacher I’ve had along the way.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In residency, probably married and NO KIDS yet!

Something about yourself that most people don’t know: I watch Anime.

What will you miss most about high school sports? Not being able to compete anymore. I’ve been playing baseball since I was 5. End of an era.
