Favorite Sport (and why): "This is a tough question and difficult to answer because I truly enjoy playing volleyball, basketball and softball. When it is the individual seasons, I am all in and I put everything toward that season. If I was pressed to pick, I would probably say softball because of all the memorable success I have been a part of with my teammates and coaches. Appearing twice in the state tournament with two different high school teams was pretty awesome. The college exposure and interest that softball has created from my summer team, Fire Pro has been pretty special."

Best Part of High School Sports: "The best part of high sports is being with your best friends and being part of a team. Setting goals and working together with teammates to accomplish those goals is very rewarding. I also love taking pride in representing the Mosinee Community in a positive way."

Best Advice from a High School Coach: "I have been very fortunate to have great high school, summer and youth coaches throughout my competitive years who are all a big part of who I am today as a player and an individual. Every coach has brought something different to me and has added to my character and determination. My high school basketball Coach, Tom McCarty, told me that “Every difficult situation provides you an opportunity.” That truly has pushed me to face adversity with confidence and strength."  

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "My most memorable moment in high school sports was winning a D2 softball state championship in 2014 with my teammates. The thrill of playing on Goodman Diamond in front of all of our Mosinee fans was beyond amazing. Together we accomplished our highest team goal ever."

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "The best part of playing three sports is playing with three different groups of teammates and building friendships. I have been blessed over the years with great teammates. The sports of volleyball, basketball and softball are obviously all different and require different skills, plays, and approaches. The goal setting and working to accomplish those goals in three different sports with many different teammates is fulfilling and rewarding. Definitely times and moments I will never forget." 

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "The toughest part about playing three sports is managing my time between studies, practicing, games, working out, off-season training/games, time with family, time with friends, working with youth and community work. I love doing it all, but the managing of time is tough."

Favorite Opponent: "My favorite opponent to play against is Medford. Medford is always competitive in all sports, so you must bring your “A” game when you play them."

Favorite Professional Team: "My favorite professional team is the Cleveland Cavaliers because my favorite player, LeBron James plays for them."

Favorite Professional Athlete: "My favorite professional athlete is LeBron James because he is the best basketball player in the world and is an amazing leader on and off the court. He is a great role model for all of us."

Favorite College Team: "My favorite college team is UW-Green Bay."

Cumulative GPA: 3.4   

Toughest Individual You’ve Competed Against: "The toughest individual I have competed against was Arike Ogunbowale. Arike possesses great athleticism, agility, quickness and the tools to play basketball at a super high level. She is tough to defend and scores easily because of a quick first step and a variety of shots. Arike is by far the toughest individual I have played against."

Most Admired High School Teammate: "Deidra Unger because of her acceptance, support and guidance of me as a freshman player at Oshkosh West. Natasha Stubbe, my Mosinee teammate because she knows my strengths and pushes me to be better every game.  Sharing the highs and lows of competition with a teammate like Natasha is awesome. I have been blessed to have awesome teammates."

College Plans: "I have signed a letter of intent to play softball for the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. I will study elementary education and special education."

Activities Outside of Sports: "I love to work with little kids at sport camps,  jet ski and hang out with my friends and family."

I Find it Relaxing to: "I find it relaxing to watch Netflix with friends, make GoPro videos and jet ski."

Favorite TV Show: "My favorite TV show is SportsCenter."

Favorite Movie: "My favorite movie is More Than a Game."

Favorite Musical Artist: "My favorite musical artist is Justin Bieber."

Favorite Subject: "My favorite subject is Science."

Favorite Restaurant: "My favorite restaurant is Buffalo Wild Wings because I love the honey barbeque boneless wings. The environment is pretty cool too with all of the tv’s showing different sporting events."

Favorite Website: "My favorite websites are Twitter and Instagram."

Other Family Members: My dad Kirby is an Elementary Principal in Oshkosh and my mom Ann is the Superintendent of Schools in Mosinee.  My brother Ryan is the Director of Research and Development for the Kerry Company and lives in Shanghai China with his family.  My sister Tatum is a third grade teacher in the DC Everest School District and my sister Paige works for InStyle magazine in New York City.
