Favorite experience as a Brown student-athlete?
"Being with the team in the OMAC day after day and growing as a family."

Favorite class at Brown?
"ENGN1010 with Professor Cohen was great, he's an amazing teacher and taught the class a lot about how to make the most out of any situation. Looking for an opportunity during bad times is an essential part of making things happen and he gave our class the framework to view problems through."
