WHAT SPARKED YOUR INTEREST IN THE RALPHIE PROGRAM?
When I watched a video Ralphie running with her handlers, I believed in myself that I would join this team.

WHAT DOES RALPHIE MEAN TO YOU?
She is one of the biggest reasons I chose CU rather than every school worldwide. She is my life changer.

WHAT'S THE HARDEST PART OF BEING A RALPHIE HANDLER?
Waking up early for the team workout:(

WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF BEING A RALPHIE HANDLER?
Being around her, my teammates, and of course our wonderful coaches! This makes me forget how hard all the work (even waking up early in the morning) is and be able to put my 100% every second.

WHAT'S ONE THING THAT SURPRISES PEOPLE THE MOST WHEN THEY ASK YOU ABOUT BEING A
RALPHIE HANDLER?
Not only practicing with her, we also have our own work-out!

WHAT'S ONE THING ABOUT RALPHIE THAT SURPRISED YOU THE MOST AFTER BECOMING A
RALPHIE HANDLER?
I was surprised that I got to use varsity facilities!

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?
Lifting some heavy weights!
