Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
I like the fact that I can combine sport and studies, and I found that Liberty was a good school to do that. And when I called the coaches, I immediately got along well with them, so I'm really happy!
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
A good warm up and good recuperation.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My dad is a good inspiration. He always finds solutions and looks for the positive in life.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
When I played in the final of the French indoor field hockey championship this winter, there was a huge crowd, it was great. The feeling was incredible.
If you picked your jersey/uniform number, why is that number important to you?
15 was my dad’s number when he played hockey.
