Best thing about playing soccer at KU:
Definitely the team, everyone is like a family and it makes everything worth it.

Not many people know this about me:
I’m curious about everything: I like to see how things works and are put together from the mind, to the body, to inventions; anything I can get my hands on.
Outside of soccer, my greatest talent is:
I have a natural ability to work with children. I also enjoy observing the world around me through the camera’s eye.
After college I plan on:
Maybe graduate school then getting a job and enjoying life to it’s fullest.
Thing I’m going to miss most about KU soccer:
Besides dancing in the locker room, I will miss the team. They are absolutely amazing; they’re my best friends. I’ll miss seeing them everyday. I’ll miss traveling with the team, we always have a great time and we’ve been fortunate to travel to some really great places. I’ll miss my parents cheering me on, even if I can’t see you guys there, I can hear ya! 🙂 I will miss the competitiveness and doing the Rock, Chalk chant before every game, it has been an honor to be a Jayhawk.
