2020 Michael Moody Fitness Scholarship Winner

“Completing my undergraduate degree was one of my life's most challenging and rewarding experiences. I enjoy studying, learning, and applying that knowledge within my field. My next step is to attend graduate school and earn a postgraduate degree in Athletic Training. In addition to this second degree, I would like a Strength and Conditioning license. I aspire to rebuild my high school athletics program with my health and human development knowledge and make it one of the best programs in the state. A personal quote that I live by is this: “Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.” I do not believe in luck...I firmly believe that success results from preparation meeting with opportunity.”
