Favorite Sport (and why): "Basketball is my favorite sport for a couple of reasons. I’ve been playing it for many years and have dedicated more time to a ball and a hoop than anything else. Also, my dad and I have had the time of our lives talking, watching, and playing basketball together. This is something very special that I feel lucky to have had experienced for 17 years of my life. I know the memories we’ve made together will always stick with me." 

Best Part of High School Sports: "The best part of high school sports would be the memories. Whether it’s the bus rides or winning a big game, there’s nothing better than spending four years with people who are working with you and rooting for you to achieve goals." 

Best Advice from a High School Coach: "The best advice I’ve ever received from a coach was to have confidence in myself and trust my training. If I play like I believe in myself and reflect upon how I’ve practiced for many years, good things will happen." 

Most Memorable Moment in High School Sports: "Making the podium for high jump by taking second at the 2017 state track meet my junior year." 

Best Part of Playing Three Sports: "I’ve been able to meet so many diverse people and have cultivated many friendships. Being a multi-sport athlete has allowed me to see every athlete’s unique skills when it comes to each different sport they play." 

Toughest Part of Playing Three Sports: "The obvious answer to this is time management. Another one would be how taxing everything is on your body. Playing sports year round along with lifting and working during the off season can really take a toll on you physically.  You have to make sure you’re getting enough rest along with attempting to have a social life."

Favorite Opponent: "Gresham because they’re our rival/neighbor school and I have a lot of friends on their athletic teams." 

Favorite Professional Team: Seattle Storm

Favorite Professional Athlete: Skylar Diggins-Smith

Favorite College Team: Notre Dame

Cumulative GPA: 3.95

Toughest Individual You’ve Competed Against: "Amber Baehman (Tri County). We’re always so competitive in every sport we play against each other.  We both are team leaders in basketball, we play shortstop and have good bats in softball, and we faced each other in volleyball. In the midst of wanting to outdo the other on the court or field, we became friends. Even though Tri-County isn’t in our conference this year, we still compare stats and things of that nature."

Most Admired High School Teammate: "Ashlynn Brisk was a senior when I was a freshman and I really looked up to her.  She was a three sport athlete who brought passion to every game she played. Ashlynn was always supportive of everyone and she was a team player who liked to have fun. She was very accepting of me as a freshman that year, and we were a great duo in basketball and softball." 

College Plans: "At this point in time, I am undecided on a college.  I would like to major in sports management or communications.  I plan on playing collegiate basketball, and am now currently narrowing down my options between several Division 2 and NAIA schools."

Activities Outside of Sports: "Music (singing and playing guitar), writing, and volunteering for elderly and Special Olympic organizations." 

I Find it Relaxing to: "Listen to Christian music, watch movies with my mom, and talk on the phone with friends."
