Amherst College Athletics

• "I made VWC my top choice because of the location, being close to my family and the beach, but also because I am able to play volleyball and represent the College out on the court.  Also, I love that the College is smaller because that is how my high school was, so it makes me feel comfortable."
• Selected Virginia Wesleyan over Roanoke College, Lynchburg College, Randolph-Macon College, Virginia Tech and James Madison University

• My favorite aspect of being an athlete is: "that younger payers look up to me while playing and ask for pointers. I also love that I can seek encouragement in more experienced players than myself.
• The part of my game I've improved the most is: "my defense."
• My personal athletic goal at VWC is: "to win the ODAC (Old Dominion Athletic Conference) tournament, set new records, and become an All-American."
• Self-description in 10 words or less: "athletic, competitive, emotional, talkative, friendly, outgoing, aware"
• If I could spend a day with a famous person from any time period it would be: "my grandfather, Joseph Dail, who played for the White Sox. I have heard so many wonderful things about him and wish I could have gotten to know him better."
• If I could participate in a reality show it would be: "Teen Mom season one, just because I would love to meet Bentley, Maci, Kyle, Caitlyn and Tyler. Not because I want a baby of my own, yet!"
• If I could possess a superpower it would be: "teleporation. I mean who likes waiting in traffic or having their flight delayed? No one! It would be fun to snap my fingers and be where ever in the world I wanted to be!"
• People might be surprised to know: "that I am actually very shy and easily made uncomfortable. That is only until you know me very well though."
• It's the year 2025 and: "I hope to have a stable income from a nice job, a husband who loves me and can support me, along with a beautiful family, kids!"
• The most important advice I've received is: "you compete like you practice, so you have to properly prepare in order to prevent poor performance" -- high school coach
