Favorite Sports Memory:
- I'd been close to breaking 560 in Air Rifle for weeks, and during practice after having a sandwich containing one of my teammate's special hot sauce (which was delicious by the way), I shot a 569 in 45 minutes. The funny part is that was the first and only time I broke 560 in the whole season.

Favorite Moment as an MIT Student-Athlete:
- My first away trip with the team as a freshman was a lot of fun and a great chance to get to know everyone better. Having a whole tour bus to our team numbering in the single-digits is an interesting situation.
