Do you have any phobias, if so which one(s)?
“I would say arachnophobia- especially when a spider is on the ceiling, I hate having to reach up to kill it because I think it is going to fall down on me. And when I am at home and there is a spider in my room I make my mom come upstairs and kill it for me.”
You’re from a small Iowa town, what is there to do for fun?

“Sports, listening to music, hanging out with friends, laughing, and scrap booking.”
Who’s the best Hearts player on the team or support staff?

Do you have any pre-game rituals, and if so what are they?
“I always put my right ankle brace and shoe on first. I also chew a piece of gum and spit it out right before I go out to warm up.”

“Going crazy in the locker room with everyone when we found out that we made the NCAA tournament.”

If you could compete on any game show (past or present), which would it be and why?

When you were little, who did you pretend to be and why?
“When I was little I would say I just pretended to be like my brother. I followed him everywhere he went, and I even looked like a boy with my short, bowl cut hair….yeah I was rocking it hard!! “
