Q: Why do you love field hockey?
A: " Field hockey reminds me a lot of soccer, which is one of the world’s most popular sports, but field hockey is more complex and challenging. I definitely recommend watching any national team play (men or women). The movement of the ball all over the field and the players’ individual skills and stick work are just amazing to watch."

Q: How did GA prepare you for college athletics?
A: "When I came to college, I felt more mentally prepared than others in a few ways. A lot of people are used to being the star, maybe even starting all four years of high school. They often have trouble adjusting their freshman year of college. I’m very grateful for having gone through GA’s huge and successful program."

Q: Did you have any mentors at GA that inspired you?
A: "There would be too many among all the unique faculty and coaches to single out any. I learned so much from so many of them. However, of course, I’ll always worship Ms. T."

Q: What do you miss the most about sports at GA?
A: "I miss all the people I got to play with. Even practice was always a lot of fun. Everything was hilarious. I also miss Ms. T yelling at all the geese."

Q: How does playing in college differ from playing at GA?
A: "Field hockey on short turf is a completely different sport than on grass (and even the new artificial grass GA has now). The intensity and commitment are also a lot greater, not to mention all the injuries. I can’t imagine playing for a really great field hockey school considering how often I forget that I am in school, and not just playing a sport, now. My team now and my team in high school are both like families, but my team now also sometimes feels like a business."

Q: What do you think you want to do after college?
A: "I still have a little while to get that figured out, but I think I might like to get a job in engineering after I graduate, just to give it a chance. Eventually, I’d love to get my MBA. After that, we’ll see where that takes me."
