How did you find out about Manor College?

I learned about Manor College when I went on a tour of the college with the Eastern Center for Arts and Technology.

What is the earliest sports memory you have?

My earliest sports memory is when I was playing for a club basketball team in 5th grade. I first started playing basketball officially in 77th grade for my middle school basketball team at Cedarbrook Middle School. I stuck with it because I enjoyed it, and had so much fun. It also was a good way to relieve stress.

What is one food you can eat for the rest of your life?

Beef bulgogi, but anything Korean. Korean is my favorite type of food.

If you could have one dinner with any four people throughout history, who would it be and why?

If I could have dinner with any four people, it would be Harriet Tubman, Candace Parker, Barack Obama and my mom because they are people who inspire me, especially mom since she has been there for me since day one.
