If you could witness any event (past or present) what would it be? Why?
I would want to witness Olympic sand volleyball. I would love to watch Misty Mae Treanor and hopefully I can get some pointers.

What is your favorite thing to do off the court with your teammates?
I would have to say eating… When I came into the team I thought I would be the only one would eats all the time, but the whole team eats and eats!

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Travel to Texas... I want to go see a good rodeo and see some country guys.

What is a non-athletic accomplishment that you are most proud of?
Getting baptized... That day I felt like a new person. I love being a Christian and learning new things about God in the Bible.

Who is the best dancer on the team?
I’m going to say Merf (Meredith Hardy), because she is the only person I have seen dance.

What movie can you watch over and over and never get tired of?
“How the Grinch Stole Christmas”

I would hang out with Jason Aldean. I’ve liked him since I was little. He is my favorite country singer and I love his music.

If you could pick any profession in life (regardless of education, money, judgment, or training) what would it be? What's stopping you?
I would like to do Radiology. That was my first decision on what I would like to do, but I changed it because I realized I wouldn’t want to do anything in the medical field.

What do you think is an important rule to live by?
Respect your parents. I know sometimes it’s hard for me to do it, but they know what is best for me. They are the only people that know you, in and out, and they want what’s best for you.

Christmas! Every year my mom and I put up the tree and decorate. I just loving giving and receiving presents. Also, I love doing Operation Christmas Child at my church.

3) Watch airplanes all day long.

What is a talent you don't have that you wish you did?
I wish I could do gymnastics. I am probably the most inflexible person there is.

What is one piece of advice you would give a young athlete who aspires to be a college athlete?
You have to have the heart and desire to play. If you have those and the talent, then you would be an unstoppable player.

If you had not pursued volleyball, which sport would you have pursued, and why?
I would run track. I’ve run track since seventh grade. I’ve always been the fastest girl in my high school. I just love running open and relay events.
