1. Why did you choose Troy?
"I chose to come to Troy to finish my education because Troy has one of the most respected programs in the nation and it is a beautiful campus. I came to Troy to finish my softball career because I knew some of the girls already playing here and they said they love it so I knew I would too, which I do!"
2. What have been the key differences in your preparation for this coming season?
"One of the main differences was my mental preparation coming from a junior college to a Division I program, I knew it was going to be tough and practices were going to be harder."
3. How have your practices been and what do you see as your biggest improvement so far?
"Practices have been great. I can't wait to see it all pay off this season. My biggest improvement would have to be my strength."
4. What are your goals for the season?
"My personal goals for this season are to work my butt off to be the best I can be and in the end help my team as much as I can to bring home the conference championships this year."
5. Describe the feeling of playing on the new field for the first time last weekend.
"It was so exciting! Our facility is definitely one of the best facilities. It is just amazing. I can't wait to see it all finished."
6. When you finish college what would you like to do?
"When I get through with college I want to open up or work for a drug intervention center for teens."
