What is/was your favorite class at St. Joe's and why?

I like anatomy lab the best, because I love learning about the body and how it works. But lectures can be a bit boring, and in lab you apply what you're learning and you get to know it better.

What was your first job (actually received a paycheck)?

I worked at an ice-cream shop in York, called Browns.

Who would you like to trade places for a day with and why?

I think it'd be really cool to trade places with Kayla for a day. Because we are such different people, so I kind of want to see what she does during her day, and what it'd be like to have her personality.

What is on your "Bucket List?"

Sky diving, hike across the Rocky Mountains and try skiing because I've never been before and I want to see what all the hype is about. Also, I want to go back to Hawaii to see what its like now that I'm older, and hike the mountains there. I would also like to go white water rafting in the Grand Canyon and go on a mission trip

Why did you choose your jersey #?

I choose the number 13, because when my sister and I went in to meet with our coach he said that he wanted our numbers close to each other. And we had the options of 3 and 4, or 12 and 13, so we went with 12 and 13 because Kayla was 13 in ice hockey.

Besides your parents, who has had the greatest impact on your life?

My sister, she's always been there and I don't know what I’d do with out her.

I think it'd be really awesome to play sports after I graduate, so ill probably try to find a women’s league for lacrosse or field hockey, and just do that for fun.

I think we have a great field hockey team, and we deserve to win the championship. So that my biggest goal for us as a team. But as a freshman, I hope I just keep growing and get better every season.
