Every Monday, TCNJ Athletics will check in with an alum from one of its programs. Today, its 2013 graduate Danica (Roskos) Haig, an alum of the swimming and diving team. Haig was a marketing major and english minor from Pennington, N.J. She won four individual NCAA Championships as a diver, three in the 1-meter event and once in the 3-meter event. She is still the program record holder on both boards in both the 6- and 11-dive formats.

In a paragraph or two, talk about what you've done since you've left TCNJ:

• Right after graduating from TCNJ, I had the pleasure of working at TCNJ for a year in the Student Health Services department. I then moved to Nashville and started a career in Human Resources. I was lucky enough to marry my high school sweetheart, Patrick Haig. We have since moved to Harrisburg, Pa. and have started a family with two children, Grace (2.5 years old) and Patrick (10 months old). I am currently working on my Master's degree in Human Resources and Employee Relations from Penn State.

What has been your favorite professional experience?

• My favorite professional experience was finding a career I was passionate about in Human Resources. It took me about 3 years to finally find the right profession, but I was determined to love what I do as much as I loved being a diver.

Do you stay in contact with any of your old teammates or coaches?

• Yes! I am still very close with Sabrina(Lucchesi) Pacifico and Kaitlin Kilgannon, who were both bridesmaids at my wedding!

What is one thing you miss most about playing sports at TCNJ?

• I miss the competitions and the friendships with teammates and other athletes.

What about what you miss most about being a student at TCNJ, either academically or socially?

• It is funny, but the further out I am from graduation I find myself missing the small moments the most, like going to class and practice and meeting up with friends to just hang out.

What is your favorite memory as a TCNJ athlete either in competition, in practice, traveling or socially?

• My favorite memories as a TCNJ athlete are the several trips I took to the NCAA finals. It was always fun to travel with friends/teammates and see a new city.

Is there anything your coaches said during your playing career that still sticks with you now?

• How you lose is the best way for someone to judge your character. It is easy to be a graceful winner but how you lose is when people see what you are really made of.

What would you say to a student-athlete who is considering attending TCNJ?

• Do it and dive in head first! Try to take advantage of every practice, meet, game and team gathering because it will be over before you know it!

Do you have any advice for current TCNJ student-athletes?

• I have been able to take a lot of my experience and skills as a student-athlete and leverage them into a successful career. I would say my ability to work hard and multitask has made me stand out from work colleagues. I think those are skills that come natural to a lot of student athletes – so basically don't be afraid of life after graduation because you are currently getting the best training to enter the "real world".

Anything else, feel free to add now:

• I absolutely loved my time as a student-athlete at TCNJ. The community that I got to be a part of is something I will cherish for the rest of my life.
