Student-Athlete Q&A
What made Liberty University the right place for you to attend college/compete at the collegiate level?
Liberty was the first college campus that I stepped onto where I felt supported and welcomed. From the loving academic advisors to the amazing athletic facilities and academic buildings, and most importantly the amazing lacrosse coaches, I knew it was the right place for me. Liberty gives their students the resources and tools to succeed both academically and athletically.
Is there anything special you do pregame or postgame and why?
I read my Bible and my dad sends me a good luck text before every game.
Who in your life inspires you and why are they such an inspiration?
My siblings, because they motivate me to become a better person every day. They inspire me, the youngest child, to accomplish things they have already succeeded in.
What is your most memorable athletic moment/accomplishment?
Winning a state championship in 2024 with my best friends. It was such a surreal moment for me because I had played with those girls my entire life, and it just represented the years and years of hard work we had put in to reach that goal.
Do you have any relatives who are playing or have played college or professional sports? (Names, relation to you, what/where they played)?
My brother AJ played basketball and baseball at Wells College. My cousin Olivia played soccer at Albany and John Hopkins. My cousin Sydney plays softball at LeMoyne College.
Favorite meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner) and what is that special meal?
My favorite meal is steak with Caesar salad or pasta.
What is the first app you check on your phone each day?
Messages or Instagram
What is your favorite hobby outside of athletics?
Spending time with my family.
Who was your favorite athlete growing up?
Simone Biles
What is your favorite possession and why?
My lacrosse stick, because it has brought me so many things in life.
What is your go-to karaoke song?
“Dancing Queen” by ABBA
What is your dream vacation spot and why?
Traveling to Italy and Greece because of the amazing food and views.
