Favorite sport other than field hockey: I love watching diving, gymnastics and water polo

The biggest thrill in my life to date is: getting the phone call from Lesley (head coach Lesley Irvine) to tell me I had been accepted to Stanford

Since coming to Stanford I have learned: how to longboard (which the Stanford campus is incredible for)

Favorite Food: pasta or rice

If I had to cook all of my meals, I'd probably survive on: mac and cheese

Favorite midnight snack: chocolate/strawberry milkshake

My favorite movie: Do You Believe in Miracles (the HBO documentary about the 1980 ice hockey team)

My parents were right when they told me: hard work can get you anywhere

Ten years from now I hope to be: happy

What are you most thankful for in life: my family
