1. How did you get into volleyball?
I was always tagging along to my sisters tournaments starting when I was 5. I claimed I was the assistant coach for the team and just fell in love with it. I started playing when I was 8—as soon as I was old enough for a club team!
2. What brought you to QU?
I wanted to go somewhere far away from home and have a different experience than anything I’d had previously. I came on a visit and loved it! It’s a gorgeous campus with a great business school.
3. If you had ten words to describe your team, what words would you use?
Family, classy, smart, funny, friendly, hard workers, determined, persistent
4. What is your most embarrassing moment?
I was running to catch up with friends and ran straight into these huge glass walls and like 20 people saw. I ran away pretty quickly!
5. What is your team’s goal this season?
Make the top 4 in our Conference, and go to the NEC tournament!
6. What is your favorite sport other than the one that you play?
I own and show western pleasure horses whenever possible, and I love skiing out West.
7. Ray and Mikes or Corner Deli?
Ray and Mikes
8. What celebrity would play your part in a movie about your life?
Maybe Emma Stone? She seems down to earth!
9. Who is your role model and what have you learned from him or her?
My Gramma Riker… she has just done so many amazing things in her life and she approaches everything likes it’s an adventure.
10. Better dancer, Chris Brown or Billy Mecca?
Chris Brown
