Cookies or cake?: Definitely cookies!
Heels or flats?: Flats. I like the versatility of flats in any situation.
Favorite movie: I like “Perks of Being a Wallflower”. Thatās a good one I saw recently. I really like “Megamind” though.
How did you get involved with water polo? My oldest sister played for a long time, then I decided I wanted to play too. Iāve always liked to swim. I didnāt want to give it up when I got to college. Itās a lot of fun playing in tournaments.
Whatās your favorite thing about the sport? I like that you can be really aggressive with somebody and then hop out of the pool and be like āgreat gameā and still be okay with each other.
Favorite thing about the UA?: I like that itās in a nice location, and it has some really unique things.
Post-graduation plans: I want to be a wastewater engineer. The process is really interesting; I like knowing things about our infrastructure that most people donāt know about. The behind-the-scenes action is interesting stuff.Ā
