What is a little known fact about yourself?: I have competitively played in over 10 sports including, volleyball, basketball, track, cross country, softball, powerlifting, gymnastics, dance, soccer, tennis, ping pong, and karate.

List any interesting, non-athletic hobbies, talents or unusual facts about yourself that could be useful in a feature story: I can make balloon animals, my dream is to travel and I like to paint and create all sorts of things.

Any other personal tidbits that people would find interesting about your life that would make a good feature story or human interest story (i.e. overcoming a personal or family tragedy, a handicap, etc.)?: I broke the tibia bone in my ankle and had to have surgery, where they had to put two screws in my ankle. It was a very long process changing from splint to splint, cast to cast and then having to relearn how to do many things including how to walk.

Who is your personal hero/idol and why?: Amy Purdy and Noah Galloway, because they both have had the worst things imaginable happen to them. But they rose above their challenges and continued to be successful even when they had every reason to just give up. They continue to be positive and successful people even though they face undoubtedly hard challenges every single day.

Why did you choose Montcalm Community College?: Because I am still unsure of what my future looks like so I thought it would be a good idea to go to MCC and get all my basic classes out of the way and explore what my future may be. Also when I found out that I had an opportunity to play volleyball, I thought it sounded like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and could be super fun and a cool experience!

What do you like most about Montcalm Community College?: I like how caring everyone on the staff is. Every single person is hoping that you succeed and are helping you every step of the way.

What do you like most about your sports team/coach at Montcalm Community College?: I enjoy the practice plans that Coach comes up with, they are very fast pace and packed full of useful drills. She is very knowledgeable about the sport of volleyball and has a very good style of coaching. She is intense but she still makes it very fun to be out on the court with my amazing teammates.
