If you have been involved in community service projects, which has been most rewarding and why? I am involved with mentoring our IDMS programs at Oshkosh North which has the most rewarding experiences.

What is your favorite class? Anatomy and Physiology

Who is your favorite teacher? I have several favorite teachers making it hard to choose just one!

What is the best advice one of your coaches has given you? When I played youth ball my dad would always tell me to “Trust the Process.” It's always stuck with me as a reminder through all the ups and downs to just continue to trust what I am going through because good things are ahead. 

Favorite youth coach: My dad, he always pushed me to be the best version of myself! 

Favorite place to play on the road in the FVA? I don't have a favorite but I love gyms that feel packed and bring energy to the game.

Favorite athlete to compete against in the FVA: My favorite athlete to play against is Kate Vanden Burg from Appleton North. We met through playing AAU where we became really close friends. Even after our AAU season ended we have stayed friends. As much as I loved to play and compete with her I enjoy getting able to compete against her. 

Favorite memory from being involved in co-curricular activities is…: I have a lot of favorite memories. I love bus rides to games with my teammates and team dinners before games!

What is your desired major/career field? I plan on double majoring in nutrition and sports business.  

Something people would be surprised to know about me is…: If there was only one food I could eat for the rest of my life it would be smoothie bowls!
