What sparked your interest in the Ralphie program?
The Ralphie program offered me everything I was looking for coming into college. I found a team to lift me up, a tradition to carry, and a place to grow as an athlete.
What does Ralphie mean to you?
Ralphie is the centerpiece for our school's unity. Everyone says she runs for us but we run for her.
What's the hardest part of being a Ralphie Handler?
Probably just the perfection that it demands. We chase perfection every single day. But it's what makes us great. We're a different kind of athlete.
What's the best part of being a Ralphie Handler?
It's too much fun. We're the only people in the world that get to do what we do. We're so spoiled with this opportunity. I have a constant smile on my face.
What's one thing that surprises people the most when they ask you about being a Ralphie Handler?
People are usually startled by our workouts. We have a very physically demanding workload and people don't expect such a regimen from a mascot program.
What's one thing about Ralphie that surprised you the most after becoming a Ralphie Handler?
I never expected her to be so erratic. As a spectator she appears to be pretty consistent. But she's as moody and unpredictable as any other girl in the pac-12.
What are your hobbies?
I grew up on golf and soccer. I also love acting and modern art.
What are three things that make you unique?
#28 ranked birdwatcher in the nation. Understudied for Troy Bolton in High School Musical 2. Favorite font: Snell Roundhand
