If you could have one person over for dinner, who would it be and why? (Past, present) Jennifer Lawrence. There is no doubt in my mind that she and I would get along and connect. Plus, I look up to her as a young women because she expresses herself without hiding any part of who she is whether she is among friends or in the presence of the media.
Most memorable volleyball moment? My high school team played Maria Carrillo in the semi finals of NCS and beat them. It was a huge win for the team.

Ice Cream or FROYO? Ice Cream
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram? Instagram
Where would you go if you could travel anywhere in the world? Ireland
Why Whitman? I was looking for a college set in a small town that I knew I could one day call my home. I found that Whitman was that place. I get the opportunity to play volleyball and study at a high level of education as well as meet people with similar interests as myself.
