WHAT SPARKED YOUR INTEREST IN THE RALPHIE PROGRAM?
My interest in the Ralphie Program started at a young age. I grew up watching Ralphie and her handlers run as I have been attending football games for many years. My older brother and sister were both Ralphie Handlers which initially sparked my interest in the program, but it grew larger every time I would see Ralphie. The feeling I got every time I watched Ralphie and her handlers run proved to me that I wanted to be a part of the most incredible team and get to work with the best buffalo in the world.
 
WHAT DOES RALPHIE MEAN TO YOU?
Ralphie is the greatest live mascot and represents the tradition and power behind CU Boulder. She truly brings everyone together and creates an amazing sense of community.
 
WHAT'S THE HARDEST PART OF BEING A RALPHIE HANDLER?
The hardest part about being a Ralphie Handler is balancing being a full time student athlete and managing your schedule with workouts, practices, game-days, and appearances.
 
WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF BEING A RALPHIE HANDLER?
The best part about being a Ralphie Handler is being able to spend most of my time with the team and becoming so close with each other. We are all one big family, including Ralphie.
 
WHAT'S ONE THING THAT SURPRISES PEOPLE THE MOST WHEN THEY ASK YOU ABOUT BEING A
RALPHIE HANDLER?
People are most surprised that Ralphie Handlers are considered D1 athletes and that we train and workout as much as we do.
 
WHAT'S ONE THING ABOUT RALPHIE THAT SURPRISED YOU THE MOST AFTER BECOMING A
RALPHIE HANDLER?
I was surprised to see how playful and full of personality Ralphie is. I love spending time with her at the ranch and playing with her.

I enjoy playing sports, hiking, skiing, playing with my dogs, painting, and spending time with my family and friends.
