Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
I chose Liberty University because it is very close to my hometown, and the campus is so pretty. I also love this school because it helps me grow in my relationship with God and meet many great people who help push me to be the best!
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
I always pray during the national anthem before the game starts. Doing this makes me feel like the game is in God's hands. Games are important to me, and I want to pray over all the players and myself before we start.
Is there something about your life and upbringing you would consider unique?
I was raised on a family farm with both of my parents focusing on having a Christ-centered home.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My grandma is always there for me and is always pushing me to be the best I can be and to work as hard as I can so that I continue to get better. She has always been my biggest supporter and continues to be. Both of my parents really inspire me; they are both really hard workers and put their all into everything they do. My dad was always one of my biggest supporters, traveling all over the country for me while also working. My mom played softball her whole life and pitched at Liberty also so its really cool to be able to play at Liberty. Both of them always supported everything I did and helped me grow to be Christ-centered.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
When my team and I won the state championship in volleyball my freshman year!
If you picked your jersey/uniform number, why is that number important to you?
I have had this number since I was young so I always like to keep it.
Do you have any relatives who are playing or have played college or professional sports? (Names, relation to you, what/where they played)?
My mom, Katie Bigham, played softball at Liberty University. My sister, Eden Bigham, played softball at the University of Virginia.
Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
I don't usually eat breakfast, but if I do it would be a sausage biscuit. For lunch I like to eat a sandwich or Chick-fil-A. For dinner, I love eating steak and fries.
What is the first app you check on your phone each day?
Snapchat
What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
Taking walks or going hiking.

What is your favorite possession and why?
