Q: Why do you love field hockey?
A: " I love playing field hockey because I love being part of a team that can work for a common goal. I love being able to wind down at the end of a school day and just go have fun at practice doing what all of us love to do together."

Q: How did GA prepare you for college athletics?
A: "GA prepared me very well for college athletics because it was at GA where I learned how to be a healthy competitor and where I learned that if I work hard I can succeed. My GA coaches were amazing and always pushed me to try and become a better athlete, which is crucial in college athletics — there is always more you can do to become better. Never settle."

Q: Did you have any mentors at GA that inspired you?
A: "Coach Moe and Ms. T were my mentors at GA. They taught me never to give up and they taught me to really love the game. But they also showed me what a true honor it is to be part of a team, and how a team can go far if it learns how to work together and be on the same page. They both believed in me as an athlete, which helped me push myself and want to improve in my athletics."

Q: What do you miss the most about sports at GA?
A: "I mostly miss my teammates and the GA pride. We had a lot of intense rivals for whom we always got very pumped up, which was a lot of fun."

Q: How does playing in college differ from playing at GA?
A: "It is much more of a commitment, and it is also on turf, which was different than the grass at GA in my days there. It is a Division 1 program, so the teams we play are very good, and, in contrast to high school, there are no decent or average players, everybody is very strong and has had a lot of different field hockey experience."

Q: What do you think you want to do after college?
A: "I think I want to continue with psychology and possibly attend graduate school. I am thinking about going back afterward to be a guidance counselor at a high school."
