1. What made you choose Ole Miss and how did you know it was the right place for you to play soccer?

Be a part of a scoring play and to get better/learn something from every game.

Beating Kentucky in the SEC Tournament in the 2013 season.

I see myself settled into a job somewhere out west and hopefully engaged.

I have known Melissa Capocaccia forever.
6. If you could meet anyone living or dead (or fictional), who would it be and why?
I would want to meet my dad's father because he seems very interesting.

Listen to music loudly and braid Sara Coleman and Melissa Capocaccia's hair.

Go to a theme park.
