When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

At one point when I was younger I wanted to be a teacher. But for the most part, I've always wanted to be an athletic therapist.

What was the last book you read?

“Divergent” by Veronica Roth

What is your favourite Lancer moment?

My favourite Lancer moment so far would have to be getting to know everybody here and having a great season up to now. But I’m really looking forward to making more memorable moments during provincials and nationals on our home court.

What is your greatest accomplishment?

My greatest accomplishment would be having three great seasons at college then finally getting the opportunity to continue my basketball career at the number one university in Canada.

Who is your hero and why?

I would have to say that my hero is my older brother. He’s always been someone I look up to for being the strongest and always knowing the right things to say. We might be far from each other but I know he’s always there.

What does being a Lancer mean to you?

Being a Lancer means representing the city of Windsor and the extremely supportive community behind us. It means working hard every day to accomplish our goals to make everyone rooting for us proud.
