What playing college basketball means to me:
Playing college basketball to me means a lot because this is a privilege and not a right. Basketball is a talent I have been blessed with and playing in college means that I have worked hard in order to help further educate myself both on and off the court.

What I expected college basketball to be:
I expected college basketball to be a lot like it was in high school but just more discipline, team oriented and all year round work.

What it really is:
College basketball is exactly what I expected plus dedication and being able to perform when needed.

Advice I would give to someone wanting to play basketball in college:
“Work hard during basketball season and work twice as hard during off season in order to get ahead”.

Why I love playing basketball:
I love playing basketball because it’s a fun game which challenges you mentally.

The women’s player that’s most fun to watch right now is...
Our team, University of Dayton, because we know how to have fun all while working hard.

Having the opportunity to play professional basketball after college...
Having the opportunity to play professional basketball after college is a great opportunity to further my knowledge of basketball, people, business and travel. Plus, having a fun job is always a great way to make money.

I'd go crazy on a road trip without...
Well, since I haven’t been on my first official road trip as being apart of the UD women’s basketball team yet, I’d probably say it would be my laptop.

A teammate (past or present) that I’ve been the most inspired by is (and why)...
Kathy Guin, Marie Rosche, Ashley Armstrong and Jennifer Strong because although we play the same position she still pushes me to compete to the best of my ability and when I make mistakes she is always there to help me understand what I did wrong.

Three things I'd like to do before I die...
Travel to Italy, become a wealthy, successful person and just being able to make my mom smile by providing her with a great life like she has done for me.

Why academics are important to me...
Academics are important to me because after basketball practice is over there is nothing but the real world which you must face. Without knowledge you have nothing, education is the key to success: in basketball and life.

An aspect of my game that I'd really like to improve is...
Mental toughness and being able to stay focused after a mistake.
