Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
Liberty allows me to compete at a high level of field hockey while also putting my focus on the Lord and growing my faith.

Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
My teammate, housemate, and friend Gianna braids my hair before every game. I also wear blue mascara for every game and scrimmage.

What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
My first collegiate goal was on my 20th birthday against Georgetown on October 27, 2023. My whole family, my best friend from home, and my boyfriend all surprised me and were in attendance to watch, which was very special.

What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
I love to sing and draw.

Do you have any current pets (name and type of animal)?
I have a Bichon Frise named Willie and a lizard named Randall.

What is your Go-To karaoke song?
The Story of Us by Taylor Swift.
