What is your pre-game routine/ritual? Any superstitions? My superstitions would be my left and right feet have to have the same amount of touches( everything is even) and always wear my hair in a braid. My pre-game ritual the day of is a 20 minute nap listening to music. The night before I drink lots of water, eat spaghetti, and go to bed no later than 10pm.
What is your biggest sports moment? My biggest sports moment would be when I scored my first goal coming back from my ACL and Meniscus injury in the fall of 2019. It was my 7th game back and it was the first half. I went up to the box during our corner kick and the ball rebounded back out to me. I took my shot and it went into the upper left corner of the goal. Biggest celebration of my life!
Motto You Live By: Push yourself to the max because the little things make the difference and whatever brings you down will make you stronger.
Why Did You Choose GSW?: I chose GSW because of the culture and atmosphere I witnessed when I first visited. The students were a family and everyone was more than welcoming. I'm ecstatic to be part of the GSW team and I believe that it will help me move to the next level for a career in the medical field. The GSW soccer team will foster my leadership skills and assist me to become a more skilled player on and off the field.
