Q & A - About Gymnastics and U-M

Why do you like doing gymnastics?   I love this sport for so many reasons, but especially because it is a constant challenge, both physically and mentally.
What is your favorite event or routine? Why?   Bars
     
What attracted you to the University of Michigan?   The combination of excellent academics, athletics, tradition, and social life are what attracted me to Michigan.
What has been your most memorable gymnastics moment at Michigan?   Making my vault in a competition after a very rough emotional day of practice the day before.
     
What has been your biggest challenge/obstacle in gym or college (or both)? How did your overcome this challenge?   My biggest challenge in both areas is accepting change. I tried to fight a lot of things for a long time, but I realized things are how they are and you have to make the best of the situations you find yourself in. You cannot control how another person acts only the way in which you respond to their actions.
What has been your most embarrassing moment in the gym (ever)?   I do not really get embarrassed in the gym.
What goes through your head immediately before a routine?   You do not want to know what goes on in my head! I do not even know what is going on up there….haha.
     
What advice would you share with up-and-coming Michigan gymnasts?   Gymnastics is not life; it’s only a part of it.
What is your favorite part of the gym meets?   Well I am such a dork, but my favorite part of the meets is when we get introduced before a meet. We run out of the tunnel, they announce your name, you run through fog, and there is a spotlight. I just think it is so funny, and makes you feel so important. It’s a fun experience.
Other than Michigan, where is your favorite place to compete and why?   I do not really have a preference as to where I compete. As long as the equipment and lighting are good, I am good to go.
     
What is the most interesting person that you've met at UM and why?     I have met and continue to meet so many interesting people here at Michigan that it would be impossible for me to choose just one person.
What is the worst exam that you've taken?   Extreme weather! Honestly, who knew that there were 14 types of clouds!
