• I am a "weeb" and super into anime and Japanese culture. I am in the process of learning Japanese and speak it quite well because I spent a summer abroad there during high school. I hope to live and work in Japan once I graduate. I was raised by my mom, Becky Barone, and have 2 older siblings, Kennady and Noah, who support me in everything I do. Throughout high school I had the opportunity to train extensively UFC fighter, Gray Maynard, who became my mentor and great friend.
• Why did you choose to attend ERAU: "I wanted to attend ERAU for the academics and the fact that it also has a wrestling program. I always wanted to continue wrestling after high school, and I am so lucky that my top school also has a top wrestling program that I will have the opportunity to be a part of."
