Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
I love how LU focuses not just on education, but also on your faith. I am really excited about the opportunity to be on a team of Christian girls who can point me towards the Lord and push me to be a better athlete!
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
I’m really boring. I get really nervous before meets or races, so I try to stick to simple things. Typically, before a meet you'll find me either drinking coffee or eating a PB&J haha! Post race, I go and eat a ton of food preferably spaghetti or a big hamburger!
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
I’m the most inspired by my mom, who loves the Lord and loves others. She patient and listens well but does not compromise truth. She keeps me accountable in lots of ways and is also my biggest cheerleader!
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
When I ran 17:33 on the track at LU and crossed the finish line, I was completely surprised that I had ran that fast! I didn't look at my watch and I was completely shocked!
If you picked your jersey/uniform number, why is that number important to you?
I'd pick # 10 because Lionel Messi and Carly Lloyd wear that number!
Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
I love every meal! My favorite is dinner! I LOVE anything with pasta, homemade pizzas, my dad's hamburgers, and his steak!
What is the first app you check on your phone each day?
I either open messages or Instagram first.
What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
Reading, hiking, camping, and fishing.
Do you have any current pets (name and type of animal)?
I have a dog named Jack. He's an Australian Shepherd and he's the cutest thing in the WORLD!
Who was your favorite athlete growing up?
Emma Coburn and Sarah Hall.
What is your favorite possession and why?
My library of books.
What is your Go-To karaoke song?
Dancing Queen by ABBA!!!!
What is your dream vacation spot and why?
Italy because it’s beautiful and I love their food!
