Favorite Bronco memory so far?
Having all my friends and family come out and support me at our home games, especially for our most competitive matches. Having a strong support system keeps me going both on and off the court.

What do you enjoy most about SCU?
The small, intimate campus and being close to family.

Favorite class at SCU thus far?
My Spanish classes. Being bilingual I wanted to challenge myself to learn a third language.

Biggest inspiration?
My mom and dad because of how much they have sacrificed for me. I hope I continue to make them proud.

First celebrity crush? 
Justin Bieber.
Favorite food?
Pepperoni and mushroom pizza.

Two truths & a lie.*
I love horses.
I've never been on a rollercoaster.
I hate chocolate.

Hobbies outside of sports?
I love to draw and write poems whenever I have free time or need to take my mind off things. Having a more introverted personality, I'm able to express my feelings and thoughts through my creative skills. 

"I hate chocolate" is the lie.*
