What are some team and individual goals you have heading into this season?
"As a team we want to go to the World Series, win the SEC, and be the best versions of ourselves. Individually, I want to be an All-American."
In what way does this year's team differ from the previous season?
"This year the team's personalities gel in a special way even before school started. We are all very close, enjoying each other which will transfer onto the field making us a really good team this season."
Who will be a player to watch both in the Fall and Spring?
"I think everyone is going to have a great Fall and Spring ball season. I'm really excited about our transfers. We have some big names like Tallen Edwards and Micaela Wark from Oklahoma State and Paisline Allen from Georgia. All of our newcomers will be fun to watch as well."
How have you grown as a player over the past two seasons since transferring to Texas A&M?
"I've grown in the leadership aspect and it started with the coaching staff holding me to a higher standard. Understanding the "when", "where", "how" and "who". That's the main thing you have to learn as a leader."
What is your favorite memory as an Aggie?
"Beating Texas last year at the SEC tournament. I will never forget and I'm sure it was great for Aggieland."

What has been your favorite part about Aggieland, what makes it such a unique place?
"Its a big family out here. The traditions and the way the school comes together is really important. You wouldn't know unless you were part of it. That's something I always say to others about it."
What uniform from last season was our favorite to wear?
"I have two. My overall favorite was the pink jersey, I love pink. I also loved the new gray jersey we had last year."
If you could design the uniforms for one game, what would they look like?
"Something with pink in it, pink isn't part of the Aggie colors but I would of course throw Maroon in there too. Maybe some gray even though it's a crazy combination."
Where in Bryan-College Station is your favorite place to eat?
"I really like Atami, even though the Chick Fil A's here probably already know my name. Atami is a hibachi restaurant and overall my favorite in the area."
If you had to survive on a deserted island with a teammate, who would it be?
"I would take Scout Lovell. She is really smart and positive, she keeps you going and could probably figure out an efficient way to live on the island."
