On Deck With Brink:
Why I chose Ferris State: The sonography program along with location and the softball program
The motto I live by: Go hard or go home
My friends tell me I'm: funny
What has been the most thrilling moment of your life outside of sports?: Spending time with friends and family; going on vacations
Something unusual about me is that: My left foot is 1/2 inch bigger than my right foot
When I step on the field I think: Always do my best, you never know who's watching
The thing I like most about Ferris State Softball: The team chemistry is great and how flexible the practices are around my class schedule
My worst fear is: losing someone I care about
My pregame ritual: Go to bed on time, don't sleep in and eat a good breakfast
My best non-athletic talent is: coloring
I can't live without: animal crackers and popcorn
