Personal

• Daughter of Tonia and David Jacobson; mother attended George Mason University and George Washington University
• Has one sister, Alyssa, who attends Northern Virginia Community College
• A fan of basketball great Michael Jordan and actor/comedian Adam Sandler
• Enjoys country music and vacations to the Outer Banks in North Carolina
• Favorites include the book "The Notebook," the movie "Forrest Gump," and the TV series "Chelsea Lately"
• Self-description in 10 words or less: "Hard-working, dedicated, willing, honest, intense, driven, hopeful, kind-hearted, reliable"
• My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: "Having a family away from your actual family, and being able to rely on your teammates. Being a member of a team can create bonds and friendships that will last forever."
• The part of my game I've improved the most is: "Confidence. I used to think anybody could stop me, but now I know the only person who can truly stop me from achieving my goals is myself."
• My personal athletic goal at VWC is: "Become a key contributer to the team defensively and offensively, while remaining a reliable and smart teammate."
• If I could spend one day with a famous person from any time period it would be: "Martin Luther King Jr., because he knew what he wanted and wasn't afraid of change. If there were more people like him today, who aren't afraid to stand up for what they believe in, the world would be a better place."
• If I could participate in a reality show it would be: "Wipeout, because I'd love to participate and watch my episode a million times over for laughs and entertainment."
• It's the year 2025 and: "I am living a successful life, witha  happy family and stable job creating life-altering green technologies to make the world a better place."
• If I could possess one superpower it would be: "The power to heal anything, because at some point everyone faces adversity and needs a helping hand to get back up."
• People might be surprised to know: "I love to sing, and secretly hope to be discovered by an agent someday and become famous. I'd have to conquer my stage fright first though."
• The most important advice I've received is: "I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying." --Michael Jordan
