Since coming to Maryland I've learned: Life has its ups and downs (everything is full circle)
What is your greatest athletic accomplishment? Being a team player...but hitting a home run on ESPN was nice.
Who is your hero/role model? Teddy Roosevelt
Who is your favorite athlete/sports team? Cal Ripken/Orioles
Who is your favorite athlete at Maryland? Lauren Pollock
Tell your favorite/funny softball story: A teammate took a hard fall after tripping on her shoelace on her way to second base.
I came to Maryland because: I liked the team and coaches
Few people know that I: Everyone pretty much knows everything about me
The craziest thing I've ever done is: eaten a cheeseburger on the field my freshman year... "I really didn't know we were not allowed!"
One word to describe me on the field is: enthusiastic
One word to describe me off the field is: enthusiastic
After Maryland, I'd like to: get a great job, have a couple houses on the coast, and retire early with Massie
Three people I'd like to have dinner with (from past or present): God, Teddy Roosevelt, W.E.B. DuBois
What do you want to accomplish this season? I just want to have my best season ever, not to mention the team's best season ever!
What are your superstitions/pre-game rituals? I always wear my visor, pull up my socks, tuck in my shirt, and carry around a lucky silver dollar
If I were president for the day I would: change the leash laws. My dog deserves to be allowed off a leash in public places. Massie is a human, however many mistake her for a dog.
If I was Coach LaMandre for the day I would: take my team to play paintball
If I could switch places with any person (real or fiction) I'd be: Me, I love being myself
