What playing college basketball means to me:
It has been an opportunity for me to continue doing something that I love and it has paid for my education. I have met so many wonderful people and experienced many new things.

What I expected college basketball to be:
Intense, competitive, challenging, fun.

What it really is:
It is everything I expected it to be.

Advice I would give to someone wanting to play basketball in college:
Stay focused on the goal. Do everything you can to give yourself an edge and an opportunity to get to the next level.

Why I love playing basketball:
Basketball for me is that break in the day when you can forget all your problems and worries for the day. When you step on the court everything else is forgotten and it is an opportunity to just play hard and have fun.

The women’s player that’s most fun to watch right now is...
Lindsay Whalen

Having the opportunity to play professional basketball after college...
Would be amazing! It would be an opportunity to see the world and get paid to do something that you love.

I'd go crazy on a road trip without...
My iPod, or a good book.

A teammate (past or present) that I’ve been the most inspired by is (and why)...

Three things I'd like to do before I die...
Start my own business, travel a bit and get married.

Why academics are important to me...
Because academics are the foundation of my future.

An aspect of my game that I'd really like to improve is...
