What has been your favorite memory from your four years?

What are your goals for the second half of the season?
"We want to try to win every single game from this point on. We want to work as a team and as a family. We want to grow every day, every practice."
How good does it feel to be back after missing chunks of time in the past?
"It feels really good. It is a lot of adversity to be back here with my team. I finally feel I am back in the groove, back playing my game and back playing basketball with my friends and teammates. It was hard. With the help of my coach, Heather, she really pushed me and believed in me. That helped a lot."
How does it feel to be contributing and scoring consistently?
"I am trying to live in the now. I don't really want to play in college. I am trying to live in the now and live in every moment. I don't get it back."
What are your college aspirations and goals?
"My dream school has always been Cal Poly. My dad went there and my brother is there now. Ever since I could walk, I wanted to be a Mustang. I just want to go to college. I am looking forward to new people and experiences while being on my own. I am looking forward to being independent and seeing how I do things."
What are you looking forward to about Holy Hoops and playing in Golden 1?
"I am so excited. I missed the last two Holy Hoops because of injury. I played at Golden One and that is where I got my concussion. They are really big games to me, the environment and everything about it is so exciting. It is one of things you look forward to playing varsity is playing in those games."
What has your varsity experience meant to you?
"My varsity experience has been everything. The team, the heart, the soul and the passion. It is an honor to play varsity for four years and to play for St. Francis."
