How has balancing academics been different from your senior year until now?
Balancing my academics and sports became difficult during my junior year because I started taking early college classes through the UWGB Rising Phoenix program. These classes really made me realize that I need to manage my time better and use any chance I could to work on school work.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a student-athlete was developing very good time management skills that have allowed me to maintain a 4.0 GPA throughout high school.
