How long have you played basketball?5 years

What is your position on WU’s bball team?Center

Do you want to play professionally?Yes, I would love to play overseas. 

How do you stay motivated during a game?I usually talk to important people to me before the game and they give me advice. So throughout the game I just try to remind myself what was said in the conversation and play for my team.

Why did you come to WU?My very first reason was because of Coach Cook. He is a great coach and mentor but once I came to visit I fell in love with the environment and the people here. It was so open and friendly with a beautiful view. I loved all of the opportunities that the school came along with and wanted to expand my horizon. 

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?Hopefully playing overseas and if not then I would like to go back to school and become a graduate assistant for a college. Then get my doctorates in Finance. 

Do you have any hobbies?Shopping, painting and taking care of my nails, arts and crafts

What is something that people don’t know about you?I am obsessed with writing notes all over my mirror.

What is the most memorable thing that happened to you this season?I took my first charge ever in a basketball game. I have never attempted to do anything like that and once I did it, I started taking them all of the time.
