Q: Three things I can't live without...
A: 1.God 2.Family & Friends 3.Music

Q: Why I chose University of New Hampshire...
A: It has a beautiful campus and when I went on my visit the team made me feel comfortable and at home. It has a train that can take you right into Boston as well as being only 20 min from a beach. I was excited to be far from home and responsible for myself.

Q: Favorite class and why...
A: Homicide, I am interested in the actions of people and trying to explain them. One of the hardest things to understand is the mind of a killer and seeing why they did what they did. In this class we picked apart different homicide cases. Also I had a fantastic professor, Kirkpatrick, that introduced his material in an interesting way.

Q: One thing I have learned at UNH that I will carry with me for the rest of my life is...
A: I learned that in order to do anything you must start by believing you can. This carries through with sports as well as school and life in general. Once you make the decision that you can do something than there is nothing to hold you back from at least trying and then being successful.

Q: My dream job, other than the NBA/WNBA is...
A: I do not know what I want to do with my life but I know its going to have to do with helping people rebuild and grow. I have a heart for aiding in emergencies so perhaps I can do something like that. I don't know really.

Q: The person, other than my parents, who has had the most influence on me is, and why...
A: God has had the most influence on my life. He has given me so many gifts and shown me how I can use them to better myself and others. I am so grateful for every thing he has done in my life. It is amazing what his love can do.

Q: The best thing about being a UNH wildcat is...
A: I love the pride that comes with saying that I am a wildcat. The pride in how hard myself and my team mates work for a common goal.

Q: Most memorable moment as an athlete...
A: I would have to go with when we played the Virginia Tech Tournament and I made the All-Tournament Team.

Q: What I did this week as a student (classes, tests, projects, study hall)...
A: My usual week consists of classes and studing/doing homework. Going to practice and doing my best to meet up with friends that I do not see too often.

Q: What I did this week as an athlete...
A: This week we have practice everyday where we are working hard to get ready to play Hartford on Saturday.

Q: Based upon my experiences growing up, my advice for young kids about school and athletics is...
A: My advice would have to be that whatever you decide to do whether its athletics or not, you should do it with everything you have. You should practice as hard as you can. My other thing is that you should never limit yourself. Play more than one sport and be active in things other than sports. Being able to expand what you do is invaluable.

Q: Why I am looking forward to the America East Basketball Championship...
A: I am looking forward to the AE Championships because I know that we can be competitive and I want to see my team surprise everyone. I believe in my team and that what we are capable of is unlimited.
