Name a favorite thing at Cal that you can't find at home in South Africa.
Christmas during winter and Mexican food.

How is training at Cal different from how it was back home?
The sense of camaraderie we have within the team is far greater than what I have experienced ever before. Everyone is dedicated to a something greater than themselves; helping one another to team as well as individual goals, which makes it a fun and inspiring environment to be in.

What is your favorite memory from your time at Cal?
Watching the sun set over the golden gate from the top of the Berkeley Hills with friends.
