Personal

  • Daughter of Cheryl and James Myers; father attended Dowling University
  • Has two brothers, Kenneth, who attends Stony Brook University, and James
  • A fan of the New York Mets baseball Team and soccer players David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo
  • Favorites include the book "Dear John," the movie "Step Brothers," and the TV series "Law & Order"
  • Self-description in 10 words or less: "I love animals, having fun, and simply loving life."
  • My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: " the competition. Not only with others but also yourself. I like that you can give it your all or you cannot- everything is in your hands."
  • The part of my game I've improved the most is: "my confidence. I used to be afraid to play with others in fear that I was not good enough. I have finally realized that failure is part of the game- without failure there would not be success."
  • My personal athletic goal at VWC is: "I want to better myself as a player, and develop new experiences that I can carry with me after college."
  • If I could spend one day with a famous person from any time period it would be: "Steve Irwin, I think how he spent his entire life exploring the animal world is really cool. I feel like it would be really interesting to learn about all his encounters with animals that I could not even imagine seeing."
  • If I could participate in a reality show it would be: "Survivor, I think it would be cool to see if I really could survive in the wild."
  • It's the year 2025 and: "I will be working and having a family."
  • If I could possess one superpower it would be: "to fly, because then you can go anywhere and do anything. If you could fly you could literally be free."
  • People might be surprised to know: "I am in love with penguins. I collect anything with a penguin on it. I would also rather read a good book instead of watching a movie."
  • The most important advice I've received is: "Sing like no one is listening, dance like no one is watching, and live each day like it's your last." --Soccer coach
