Why did you choose Ohio Wesleyan?
I chose Ohio Wesleyan because it was super close to home, offered small class sizes, and had a pretty campus in a good location.

Why did you choose your major?
I chose my major because I took an intro course in psychology and found it super interesting.  It became something I was really invested in and passionate about.

Why did you choose to compete in sports at Ohio Wesleyan?
I chose to play a sport at OWU because I grew up here in Delaware and since I was in elementary school it was my dream to be a part of a college softball team, specifically at OWU.

What are your strengths as an athlete (as an individual)?
My strength as an athlete is my support for my teammates and love for the game.  I love being able to be the one to pick them up after a tough game or play and be someone they can go to for help.

Is there a specific coach or teammate who has helped you get where you are?
A specific coach that has helped me get to where I am currently is Coach (Cassie) Cunningham, she's been there for me a lot this year and pushed me to get out of my comfort zone while also making me a better player.  

Which reality show would you like to star on and why?
If I could be on any show it would probably be "Impractical Jokers" because I love that show and it's really funny.

What is your favorite book and why?
My favorite book is probably "The False Prince" by Jennifer A. Nielsen or any Percy Jackson book because of the plot.

If you could visit another time, when would it be and why?
If I could visit another time I would probably go back to my childhood so I could experience and appreciate it a little more again.
