Why did you choose to come to UNO?UNO had tremendous appeal to me for both academic and athletic reasons. It provided me with the opportunity to compete athletically at a higher level, while working towards a degree as well. My teammates have been outstanding, and I've established a number of friendships that will last a lifetime.
What do you like about UNO and Omaha?One major benefit of attending UNO has been the smaller class sizes. It has allowed me to frequently communicate with my professors, and has enhanced my learning experience as a whole.
What are your favorite hobbies or pastimes?Although my skills are limited, I love to play golf in my spare time. Some of my teammates are incredible golfers, so they're a lot of fun to play with.
You are currently a forward on the UNO ice hockey team. Why did you choose to play at UNO? What excites you about the ice hockey program here?The players and staff at UNO made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the recruitment process. I saw UNO as a place I could succeed on and off of the ice, and I'm very excited for the upcoming season.
What advice would you give to other students who are looking for a university in the United States?I would suggest visiting and/or talking to as many students as possible who attend the school you are interested in. I had the opportunity to visit multiple schools in the U.S. before deciding to come to UNO. This allowed me to weigh the pros and cons of all potential options, and ultimately make a final decision.
