1. What made you choose Ole Miss and why?
As a kid, my dad took us all over the nation to watch football games. My favorite games were ,of course, SEC games. My sophomore year of high school our family's football trip was Ole Miss. From that moment I stepped on Campus I fell in love and I knew this was the place I wanted to attend.
2. What are your goals for the season?
I want to always give 100% and start in a SEC game.
3. Where do you see yourself in ten years?
A good start in my career, and I want to be a Forensic Accountant. Hopefully married and staring a family.
4. What's something that most people don't know about you?
I had a hole in my aorta and pulmonary artery and had to have heart surgery as a baby.
5. If you could meet anyone living or dead, who would it be and Why?
I would like to meet Luke Bryan, I am obsessed and would love to meet him, and have him sing me a song.
6. Do you have any superstitions that are habits before the game?
I always have to wear a bow.
7. If you had a day off from softball, what would you do?
I would sleep in and watch Netflix until noon. After that, I would go with some friends to Sardis or do something fun/relaxing. Then go to dinner on the square and hangout with my teammates.
