GoBearcats - How have you adjusted to the BIG EAST Conference from High School and Club? What is it like to play in such a competitive conference?
At first, adjusting to the BIG EAST Conference was tricky, but after a few games I was able to get into the swing of things. High School was definitely not as competitive as the BIG EAST and Club was similar but still not as competitive. I expected this because the BIG EAST is such a huge conference. I think it's amazing playing in such a competitive conference, I love playing against some of the top teams around because it makes me better as an individual player. Playing in the BIG EAST is tough and a lot of hard work, but I definitely believe it's worth it and I'm so happy I came to UC.
GoBearcats - You have started every match this season except for one due to injury as a freshman. You also have 4 goals and 4 assists on the season. Did you anticipate that you were going to have an immediate impact on this team as a freshman?
Coming into the season, I honestly had no idea what to expect. I didn't know if I was going to start or how much playing time I was going to get. I just did my best and came in with a positive attitude. I love playing and I'm always excited to start in the games. I hope that I can continue to help this team the rest of the season and the next three years.
GoBearcats - You scored your first colligate goal vs Dayton. What was it like to net your first college goal?
Scoring my first college goal was one of the greatest feelings I've ever had. The best part is the celebration afterwards when your entire team gives you a big hug and congratulates you. I am lucky to have gotten the chance to score and I hope that I can keep scoring in the future!
GoBearcats - Now that you have been on UC's campus for 3 months, what is your favorite thing about being a Bearcat?
My favorite thing about being a Bearcat is being a member on the UC Women's soccer team. I love being a part of a team and I have been extremely fortunate to have met so many wonderful teammates. I love all my teammates and they make my experience as a Bearcat so much more enjoyable.
GoBearcats - If you got stuck on a deserted island, what item could you not live without, and which teammate do you wish you were stuck with and why?
I couldn't live without a TV, I always watch TV and I can't imagine not having one! If I had to be stuck with a teammate, I would want to be stuck with Ellen Parker because we always find a way to have fun, she makes me laugh so hard and we already have had so many good times this year. I love being roommates with her, I couldn't have asked for a better one! Plus she is really good at the rain dance..!
GoBearcats - If you could look at yourself from an outside perspective how do you think you would describe your style and personality?
I think I would describe myself as being quiet but a lot louder once you get to know me, I smile a lot and I can make other people laugh when they're in a bad mood.
GoBearcats - So we have heard you like to eat. If you could pick any meal to eat, what would it be?
Mmmm...I do love to eat, it is my favorite thing to do and if I could pick any meal to eat it would be an ice cold cherry coke, a barbeque chicken pizza, mozzarella sticks, bread from Outback Steakhouse, mashed potatoes, and an entire cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory with extra whipped cream. I pretty much like anything and I could name a lot more but I won't.
GoBearcats - If I could send you and a celebrity anywhere in the world, where would you go, and who would you take?
I would go to Italy and I would take David Beckham with me because he is extremely good looking.
