Amherst College Athletics

• "I made VWC my top choice because I went to Virginia Wesleyan for an overnight and really liked the team, they all seemed to be very welcoming. I just felt like I was at home. When I was given a tour and went to a class, it helped my parents and I see what the whole campus has, and the class made me want to be there to learn, not just because I had to."
• Selected VWC over Chistopher Newport University, Old Dominion University, James Madison University, Oberline College, and Randolph-Macon College

Personal

• Daughter of Charlotte and Terry Wilkins; parents attended Old Dominion University
• Has one brother, Jerry Pacilio, who attends Tidewater Community College
• Enjoys country music and the show "One Tree Hill"
• A fan of the Norfolk Tides and Lance Armstrong
• Favorites include the "Harry Potter" book series, the movie "Monster-In-Law" and vacations to Greece
• Self-description in 10 words or less: "I am smart and driven, but I like to enjoy life."
• My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: "After a long hard day of classes, I like having a way to de-stress. Field hockey to me has always been a way to just get everything out, when I step on the field nothing matters except for the game."
• The part of my game I've improved the most is: "I have definitely improved my outlook on the game the most. I don't just look at games as a win or a loss. I look at them as a way for me to better myself. When I lose I know I need to work harder and when I win I know I need to work even harder to stay the winner."
• My personal athletic goal at VWC is: "I would like to help the VWC field hockey team to build up and be the program it should be. It has a great start and with all of the new recruits this year I hope to be a good building block to the team and build on my own skills while helping the team."
• If I could spend a day with one famous person it would be: "I would love to spend a day with J.K. Rowling, I recently watched a film on her life and leading up to her writing of Harry Potter and it just seems like she is such a strong woman. She went through failed jobs, a failed marriage, and so much more just to come out on top and do what she wanted to, which was writing."
• If I could participate in a reality show it would be: "I would like to participate on the show Wipeout because it just seems fun and it would be a good time even if I didn't move on."
• If I could possess one superpower it would be: "I would like to be able to teleport myself anywhere because I hate the time it takes for travel."
• People might be surprised to know: "I like to escape in the world of books. I get to visit so many different places while following the story, making it like I am in the book."
• It's the year 2025 and: "I am married and have two kids. I am in the US, most likely on the East Coast teaching children and making my way up the ladder to hopefully be principal one day. Also, I will be coaching field hockey."
• The most important advice I've received is: "Study hard, practice hard, and play hard." --High School Coach
