1. What made you choose Ole Miss and how did you know it was the right place for you to play soccer?
I picked Ole Miss because I loved the campus, of course. The main reason I picked Ole Miss was Coach Mott made me feel like I mattered. He said it would be like a family, and he was right.
2. What are your goals for the season?
Score at least three goals and make every game count.
3. What is your favorite athletic memory at Ole Miss?
Beating LSU my freshman year in the SEC Tournament with a minute to go on the clock to advance to the quarterfinals.
4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I see myself as a mom, of course. HA. I also see myself being an elementary school teacher and probably coaching all of Parker's sports teams.
5. What's something most people don't know about you?
I had a baby at 20.
6. If you could meet anyone living or dead (or fictional), who would it be and why?
Amelia Earhardt. I want to know what happened to her.
7. Do you have any superstitions before a game?
My socks have to be inside out before I put them on. And I eat chips.
8. If you had a day off from soccer, what would you do?
Take Parker to the zoo or a theme park.
9. What is your favorite class at Ole Miss and why?
Student Teaching. I love getting into the environment I am going to work in and having the experience.
