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 loved the atmosphere of Ole Miss as a school and Oxford as a town. I loved the way the team interacted with each other and played soccer. I knew it was the right fit.
2. What are your goals for the season?
Return to the NCAA Tournament.
3. What is your favorite athletic memory at Ole Miss?
Hosting and winning an NCAA Tournament game.
4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Hopefully working as a pharmacist in a hospital, married and with a family.
5. What's something most people don't know about you?
I went to an all-girls Catholic high school, and played basketball and field hockey.
6. If you could meet anyone living or dead (or fictional), who would it be and why?
John Wooden. I'd like to have a conversation with him about everything from playing a sport to building individual character to life lessons.
7. Do you have any superstitions before a game?
Not really. I don't like superstitions.
8. If you had a day off from soccer, what would you do?
If I had a completely free day (and Oxford had a beach), I would spend the day at the beach.
9. What is your favorite class at Ole Miss and why?
So far, my favorite class has been brain and behavior with Dr. Sufka. To me, the brain is fascinating because it's capable of so much. Also, there is so much we have yet to understand about the brain.
