• My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: "using my sport as an outlet for my emotions and keeping myself in shape"
• The part of my game I've improved the most is: "not getting so mad at myself when I make a mistake. I've learned to let it go and make it up by doing something right."
• My personal athletic goal at VWC is: "To lmake myself better than I am right now and to earn a lot of playing time."
• If I could participate in a reality show it would be: "America's Next Top Model, because I think it would be an incredible opportunity to become a real model.  My friends have always told me that I need to be a model."

• People might be surprised to know: "I'm extremely shy around people I've never met before."
• If I could possess one superpower it would be: "the power to pause and rewind time.  Every time I'm running late I wishi I could just pause time so I could get ready and get to wherever I need to be on time.  I would like to be able to rewind time so I can revisit things from my past that I miss."
• It's the year 2025 and: "after living in Atlanta for a year after college, I have moved back to Virginia and now work somewhere in meteorology.

We live in a very nice house that we designted and we have lots of land.  Everyone  in the family has their own four-wheeler."
