Why did you choose UCF?
When I was deciding which college to go to I knew I wanted to live in a big city, somewhere hot, and somewhere close enough to home. UCF fulfilled all of these and then some. Also, the team made me feel at home, which was a big part of it. I couldn't ask for a better group of girls to go through this experience with.
How do you want people to remember you at UCF?
I hope to be remembered as an academic scholar athlete and a leader on and off the court.
What is your favorite thing about campus?
My favorite thing about campus is our gym and new court. It's by far the best in our conference, but I may be a little biased!
What is your best UCF memory?
My favorite memory at UCF was last year against Temple achieving a double double with 29 assists and 24 digs.
What are your career aspirations?
I plan to become a CPA and open my own firm.
When and why did you start playing volleyball?
My parents asked me to try and play volleyball at 8 years old. I fell in love with it ever since!
What is your biggest pet peeve?
My biggest pet peeve are things being messy. I don't go to sleep until my apartment is spotless.
What is your favorite food?
Pizza!
What is your favorite movie?
Grease. I love any movies with singing and dancing.
How do your friends describe you?
My friends would probably describe me as always being stressed out and a motherly figure.

Take advantage and learn from every situation thrown at you
