Summer is upon us and in preparation for the 2015 season, OleMissSports.com is bringing fans of Ole Miss Soccer and the Rebel Nation a look at the players who will make up the latest incarnation of the Rebels on the pitch.

We'll take a look at what makes each player unique, how they came to choose Ole Miss as their home and family for their collegiate career and what they hope to do after college.

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

I chose Ole Miss because of Matthew Mott. I loved talking to him throughout the entire recruitment process and I really bought into what he wanted to achieve here at Ole Miss. He has a lot of faith in our team and believes we can accomplish anything we set our minds to.

2. What are your goals for the season?

Improve technically. Get a better feel for playing wing back. Relax, stay composed and enjoy every practice/game with my teammates.

3. What is your favorite athletic memory?

My junior year of high school we were playing our rival and I scored the tying goal in the last two seconds of regulation to send us to penalty kicks. We wound up winning in the penalty kick shootout.

4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Hopefully living in a big city with a steady income and maybe significant other. If not a significant other, then possibly a really cool dog.

5. What's something most people don't know about you?

I make my bed every single morning and get super upset if anyone sits on it or messes it up. I'm extremely OCD when it comes to my bed.

6. If you could meet anyone living or dead (or fictional), who would it be and why?

Beyonce because she's a smart and powerful woman.

7. Do you have any superstitions before a game?

I'm really big about pregame music. If I have some pump up music to fire my up prior to a game, I'm good.

8. If you had a day off from soccer, what would you do?

Lay in my bed with a cup of coffee and binge watch Netflix.

9. What is your favorite class at Ole Miss and why?

My Spanish classes have been a blast. My 102 class is lots of fun because we are all very involved with the activities.
