Why you chose NMHU 

I chose NMHU because it was close to home. My mother went here and got her bachelor’s in social studies while being visually impaired.

Information about you or other family members that may make for an interesting feature story (such as famous family members or family members who played in college/professionally).

My father was in the Marine Corps for 7 years. My mother was born with a rare eye disease called Eales disease. She wasn’t able to do sports growing up because of her impairment, so I play for her. She is 100% blind in her right eye and nearly 70% blind in her left. She attended the New Mexico School for the Blind and then Highlands for 2 years where she acquired her bachelor’s degree in social studies.

I like being in the outdoors. I like hunting, fishing, and going for hikes. In my free time, I try to go to the gym as much as possible.
