Going with my team to the local YMCA and hanging out with the kids. It was just amazing to be able to spend time with these kids and see the smiles on their faces. It makes you realize the responsibilities you have to uphold because these kids are looking up to you.

Describe your ideal date!
A nice trip into Boston. Go to Newberry Street and have a nice dinner. She lets me pay the bill. Walk around and talk and just enjoy each other’s company.
You’ve had an amazing first season with Harvard Men’s Basketball! What has been the best part of playing on this team?
I think the atmosphere within and surrounding Harvard basketball. I feel like the theme of our atmosphere is love and hard work–the love my teammates have for the school, basketball, each other and for our fans. We always want to give our best effort for the program, fans, and so on. We also just appreciate the constant love in which the fans, dance team, and so on give us.
What’s one thing on your Harvard Bucket list?
Win an Ivy League basketball title every year I am here.
Harvard collegiettes, let’s keep bringing the support to make that goal happen! Be sure to cheer on Zena and the rest of the Harvard Men’s Basketball Team as they take on Yale (Friday, 7:30 p.m.) and Brown (Saturday, 7 p.m.) on the road this weekend!
