Favorite Quote: "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live the world they have been given, rather than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It is an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It is a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."

Career Goals: Be a DI college coach and develop a camp for children with special needs

Weirdest Quirk: When eating colored candies like M&Ms or skittles, I separate them into color piles, and eat them color-by-color.
Famous person you admire and why: Pat Summitt. She attacks life and sports with passion and sets a bar of excellence for women like me to chase. She has done more for women's sports than anyone I know. She has also shown me what it means to be a winner, but more importantly how it looks to have impeccable class and character.
