Favorite memory as a Bronco thus far?
When my teammate Zeina clinched the match against San Diego my freshman year. It was the best feeling! We all ran and hugged her after she won.

Two truths and a lie.*
I've completed a triathlon.
I'm allergic to peanuts.
I've had two knee surgeries on my left knee.

What has been your favorite class at SCU thus far?
Literature and Performance. I wrote complete scripts which I've never done before and realized how fun writing is. My professor always made the class challenging but interesting and we studied Hamilton, one of my favorite musicals.

What are your favorite hobbies outside of sports.
Reading and baking!

*"I'm allergic to peanuts" is the lie.
