Hometown: Essex, Iowa

High School: Essex High School

Why Central?
I chose Central because I wanted to play basketball as well as golf, but after injuries I had to give up basketball. Also, I came from a small high school and I did not want to go to a big school. Central was a good size and I felt at home when I came and visited.

You decided to major in business managemnet because...
I have always liked to work with numbers and people. So business management will allow me to do that.

The TV show you make time for
My favorite televsion show is Grey's Anatomy.

The thing you like about the women's golf team
Our team is so supportive in whatever happens. They always have my back in whatever I do. We have so much fun together and I can always expect to laugh when I am around the team.

Favorite travel destination
I went to Colorado for a family reunion a couple of years ago and fell in love with it. I love the scenery and just bing outdoors. It was the first time I went whitewater rafting and that is something I love to do.

Best advice ever recieved from a coach
Well, there are two coaches in my life who have had a greater impact on my life than any other coach. My high school, basketball coach always told me, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take." My high school golf coach said, "Golf is a 5-inch game, the distance between your ears." Both of these pieces of advice can not only be applied to basketball and golf, but to life in general.

"Ten years from now I'll..."
Most likely be back in my hometown living on a farm and successful at my career.

Favorite Central Market food
Baked potato bar.

Most treasured possession
My sports memorites from my senior year in high school because I got to play with my sister. We accomplished a lot and set many school records.

The movie you'll stop to watch when you're channel surfing
I love the movie Sweet Home Alabama. I watch it all the time.
