Family: If you take into consideration the family members I have in Greece, I come from a fairly large family. I am half Greek. My Mother was born in Greece and moved to the states when she was 7. All 9 of my family members minus me live in St. Louis. Mom, Dad, sister whose enrolled at Indiana University, younger brother whose 9 and has a genetic disorder but he’s very loveable, my grandma and then my mom’s parents and her sister. I am very close with my family and one of the messages I would like to give people about family is that no matter how many people you lose or gain in your life, your family will always be there for you. Hold them close to your heart, and you never get too old to tell them I love you once in awhile.

Favorite Movie: This is a tough question. I love any movie that’s in the genres of Mystery, Romance, or Comedy.

Most Memorable Event During Athletic Career at Webster: Spending time with my team in general during and after cross country meets. Also, I loved just receiving the opportunity to be part of a talented athletic department filled with talented athletes, but more importantly amazing people. Some general messages I would like to share with Webster Students is never forget where you came from and never change who you are, because that helps make you valuable to the world you live in. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Don’t be afraid to take risks, because successful people embrace change they don’t run away from it.
