As a junior what advice would you give to incoming freshmen?
"Don't take anything for granted. Your time here is going to fly by and don't take off any reps."
 
How would you describe the 12th Man advantage?
"They have a huge impact not just on us but the opposing team as well. Playing in such a big environment is so much fun, they make it so much more enjoyable to be here."
 
What about this year's team stands out the most so far?
"We are very dynamic. I see us being a close group as we get further down the road, being close on a team is very important and it can take us further than previous years."
 
 
If you had a superpower what would it be and why?

"I am a public health major and want to work in the nursing field either at a hospital or a private practice as a nurse practitioner."
 
If you had to choose a walkup song for Coach Heff what would it be?
"A rock song. He is always dancing when rock comes on, breaking into moves no one has ever seen before."
 
If you were stuck on a deserted island and had to bring one teammate, who would you bring?
"Scout Lovell, she has an open mind. Together we could figure out things a little easier and she also knows me in and out."
