What is your favorite sports moment at AU?
In 2012 when I scored the only goal against University of Chicago in the 82nd minute. It was a diving header off a set piece. I literally have never been so excited about scoring a goal. Plus, we beat a team that we haven't won against in years.

What is your most memorable academic experience at AU?
This past year I got a 4.0 gpa which was pretty awesome.

Why did you choose to attend Aurora University?
I wanted my parents to have the opportunity to be able to attend all of my games and Aurora is close to my home.

Who is your all-time favorite athlete and why?
Adam Holka because he is the only person who I have ever cheered for.

What is your favorite class and why?
I really enjoy visual communication because I had the opportunity to express my creativity in a way that I never have before.

Who is your favorite professor and why?
Dr. Wicks because she is awesome. She is there when I need her, and she is always very understanding of my soccer schedule.

Other than the sport(s) you play, what other sports activity are you good at?
Crossfit.

Outside of sports, what is your favorite hobby?
Making YouTube videos of myself lip signing songs or dancing.

What is your favorite meal in the cafeteria?
M&M chocolate chip cookies!!!

Who is your role model?
Nicci Bermudes.

What do you enjoy most about practice?
We do so many fun activities where you don't feel like you're working on your fitness, but after it's over you realize you probably just ran like 5 miles.

What do you like least about practice?
Honestly, I really don't like when practice ends. I always want one more round of playing or a couple more shots.

What are your plans/goals after graduation?
Find a job that I enjoy and move out of my parents house.

Do you have any pregame rituals?
I honestly just get very very hyper and like to dance around or listen to music with the team.

What will you remember most from your college career?
The feeling I get before a game when I am so pumped to put all my hard work on display.

As a senior, what advice would you give to freshman at AU?
There is always room to improve each year. If you work hard and set goals for yourself as a person and player, there is no option other than success.
