Feature Questions

Why did you choose Saint Joseph's College?

The nursing program's reputation, the softball program, and I loved how it was right on Sebago Lake!

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

I can't pick just one! I go from hating to loving classes, but I would have to say I definitely learned the most in the Nursing Adult classes!

What was your first job?

Shaw's Supermarket, check out girl :)

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

Oprah - she has worked so hard and accomplished so much. And she is one of the richest women in the world, and helps the less fortunate!

What is on your "Bucket List?"

To travel around the world, and to own a boat and ocean house when I get older!

Talent you'd most like to have:

To read people’s minds, it would make everything so much easier!

What do you drive?

Green Honda Civic, named Vicky!

What is your motto?

"You only live once, that’s the motto." YOLO

Do you have any superstitions before you go into a big game?

No Superstitions here!

Why did you choose your jersey #?

I say #14 chose me! I've had it for every sport except when I played hockey, I had #9 because that's the Labbe family hockey number.

What is your most memorable moment as an athlete at SJC?

Definitely winning the GNAC's for the first time ever last year! Feels so good to be part of that team!

Who has had the greatest impact on your life?

Definitely my parents, sister and brother. They have always supported me in whatever I have done, and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it was not for them! They taught me how to treat people with respect.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Working full time as a Registered Nurse, hopefully coaching somewhere, and preparing to settle down and start a family!

If you could meet anyone (past or present) who would it be and why?

Jason Varitek, he was my favorite player for the sox!

What are your hobbies?

Sports of any kind, hiking, beach in the summer, hanging out with family and friends

What is your ideal day away from athletics?

Catching some rays, lake side with my family and friends

Do you plan on playing sports or coaching after you graduate?

I plan on continuing to play in my woman's hockey league, and to play some slow pitch softball. I am hoping to start coaching for softball where ever I find myself settling down!

What are your personal and team goals for this season?

It is obviously to win back-to-back GNAC conferences. Also, to have the best personal season yet and help the team reach our final goal!

Anything else you'd like to add?

That I love my team and cannot wait to work towards our goals and take on the season with them!
