What's your background in ultimate? My brother got me playing my freshman year of high school. I’ve been playing 7 years. I played Jackwagon for 1 year and Love Tractor the past 2.

Favorite movie? Any Harry Potter

Walk up song? Love on Top by Beyonce

Pump up song? HUMBLE. by Kendrick Lamar

What's your favorite Kali memory? HOW DO I PICK ONE?!? Probably the series last year and peaking at the right moment but also even after we lost we were all just so proud of each other and I think everyone was just sad that it was over but we all still loved each other the same if not more.

Why do role models matter? My role model is/was Dena Slattery. She’s believed in me so much both on and off the field. She pushed me to be a better ultimate player by helping me one on one and encouraging me to tryout for club teams when I was still in high school. She also pushed me to be a better person and help me figure out who I am. She’s so important, as are other role models, because it is so nice to have someone you aspire to play like/be like support and encourage you.

What does equity mean to you? Equality for all. No matter what.

What's your favorite quote? Jean brought this quote to our team last year: "If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."
