Q: What is it like working with coach Bluder and the Iowa coaching staff?
A: It’s a great experience. Ever since recruiting, they’ve been great role models, supporters, and coaches both on and off the court. It’s always good having them there knowing they’d do anything for us, basketball-related or not.
Q: Who was the key factor in the recruiting process that led you to Iowa?
A: The coaches had a big thing to do with it, but also the girls and the players here are awesome people and the type you want to surround yourself with. The basketball program here is one of the best in the country and a NCAA contender year-in and year-out. Iowa has a fun campus too, so there are always fun things going on around town.

Q: What facet of your game has improved the most since last year?

A: My parents. They’ve been lifetime supporters and will continue to be. They’ve been influential in all my decisions and will continue to be.
