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

I went through several different career paths but realized the only one that would make me happy would be to work with athletes. Like all athletes, I have had my fair share of injuries, so I would love to work with injuries athletes as a physiotherapist.

What was the last book you read?

The last book I read was “Salem Falls” by Jodi Picoult.

What is your favourite Lancer moment?

Choosing one moment would be unrealistic. The best moments as a Lancer would be winning all three national championships with the team. There is something about seeing everything you’ve worked for actually being achieved.

What is your greatest accomplishment?

I have no idea what my greatest accomplishment would be. I have been blessed with so many great things, people, and opportunities in my life and I could not pick one thing. I guess if I had to pick just one it would be becoming a starter this year.

Who is your hero and why?

My teammates are all my heroes. They are the only people who do the same things I do every single day. They are all amazing girls and all bring something different to the table. They are my best friends.

What does being a Lancer mean to you?

Being a Lancer means being part of something bigger than me. It’s about being part of a family. It’s a pretty special environment at the University of Windsor and being part of it will be something I will never forget.
