1. My favorite memory would have to be my sister and I each scoring against a school from our home state (Hendrix University) with our family, boyfriends and friends standing near the corner flag of the same sideline.
2. My plan after graduation is to take a gap year in order to become a Texas resident. After doing so, my goal will be to continue my studies by attending a physical therapy graduate program. After graduating from physical therapy, my goal is to open my own practice to specialize with pediatrics, amputees and sports medicine.
3. I want to thank my coaches for pushing me to reach my fullest potential and seeing potential in me by giving me this opportunity to play here. Also, I want to thank all of my teammates (present and past) because I would not be the player and person I am today without them […] I want to thank my family for their unconditional love and support. They have shaped me into the person I am today and having my sister Haley here this past season made it that much more special. Lastly, I want to thank God for everything he has provided.
