PERSONAL HIGHLIGHTS

How old were you when you first started playing?

I started playing field hockey at the age of 8 when I went to a field hockey tournament with my older sister and they needed someone to step in for numbers.


What's your go-to pregame meal?

My pregame meal consists of eggs, oatmeal with banana and an iced coffee.


What do you do when you're not playing field hockey?

When I'm not playing field hockey I like to paint, cook and walk my dogs with my family or friends.


What is your favorite field hockey memory?

My favorite field hockey memory is winning the past national championship on our home field surrounded by friends and family.
