Hey Knight Fans,
I hope you guys are having as great of a summer as I am! As you all know, the summer is a very critical time for us to improve our games and prepare for the upcoming season! This summer, I have been working extremely hard to not only improve on the basketball court, but in the classroom as well.
Now that I am a senior I am preparing for life after basketball. I intend to graduate in December, a semester early, with a Bachelor’s degree in Interpersonal/Organizational Communication, a minor in Marketing. After my completion of undergrad, I have aspirations of gaining acceptance into the DeVos Sport Business Management graduate program here at UCF. So I have been “on the grind” this summer; volunteering, studying for the GMAT and working two internships. One internship is with our very own Sports Marketing staff, and the other is with the Orlando Extreme, a semi-professional women’s basketball team.
As far as basketball is concerned, I have been working very hard! I get up hundreds of shots a week, lift weights and condition with our strength coach Tracy Prosser 3 to 4 times a week, and I go to the recreation center pretty much everyday to play pick up games against some guys. I do all of this while still taking two classes, Spanish and Entertainment Marketing. My days can be extremely hard and tiring, but I love it and I can’t see myself doing anything else.
I speak for my entire team when I say we are putting in the time and effort to give our amazing fans a very thrilling and competitive season this year! We have nothing but another Conference USA Championship and becoming a top 25 program in our eyes, so come enjoy the ride!
Until Next Time Knight Fans,
Your Very Own “Jellyyyy” =)
