Q&A
What made you choose Pitt?
I fell in love with the architecture here with all the buildings and bridges. I also really wanted to play in a highly competitive conference with a great culture all while receiving a top notch education.

Picking up my teammates and my work ethic.
What is your (intended) major?
Supply Chain Management

Loyal, compassionate, determined

Music, hiking and watching movies
Do you have any pre-game rituals or superstitions?
I have to have a "pink drink" from Starbucks before the game and a pack of gum with me.
What are some of the differences between your hometown and Pittsburgh?
Arizona is about four times hotter than Pittsburgh and has cacti everywhere you look.
If you could bring one thing from your hometown to Pittsburgh, what would it be?
It would without a doubt be my dog Chance who I love with all my heart and miss more than ever!!!
What is the best advice you've ever been given?
"If you want to be a winner then surround yourself with winners." - My Grandpa
If you could meet three people (past or present) who would you want to meet? Why?
I would want to meet Bradley Cooper because I am in love with him, Carrie Underwood since she is one of my favorite singers and Elvis Presley as I was raised listening to his music.
If you could be a star in any sport, other than softball, which one would it be?
Gymnastics

My parents both had the greatest impact on me as they have showed me what it is like to give your all in everything you do and how to be so generous and loving all at the same time.
