Favorite Sport (and why): "My favorite sport would have to be basketball because although there is individual talent involved, it is a team game. During the season, I spend most of my day with my teammates, on and off the court. I enjoy the pace and intensity of games, and love how much effort we put in as a whole unit."

Best Part of High School Sports: "Spending time with my teammates, especially at team dinners."

Best Advice from a High School Coach: “Basketball is a mental game. Don’t let it get inside of your head.”

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "Coming back from being 14 points down with 1:30 left at Sun Prairie and beating them in overtime."

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "Keeping busy and learning how to juggle academics and athletics."

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "Balancing sports and school, as well as finding time for my friends outside of sports."
