Q: So, you're athlete of the week - pretty exciting, huh?
A: I'm nervous!

Q: Do you have any goals for the season?
A: I think a goal for our team is to make it to the NCAA Tournament, and as for me, I just want to continue to get better and be a bigger impact on the team.

Q: What's your all-time favorite soccer moment?
A: When I was a freshman in high school (Foothill HS in Pleasanton, Calif.), we won the NCS (North Coast Section championship). I remember it just being a lot of fun and loved that I was starting as a freshman.

Q: Any special talents or anything fun you want to tell us?
A: I don't really have any special talents, but I have a tattoo on my ankle!

Q: Any pre-game rituals?
A: I had a blister on my ankle a long time ago and had to tape it. It's gone now but I still tape my ankle the same way. That and my handshakes with Stolt (Jen Stoltenberg) and Mercedes (Walters).

Q: What's something we may not know about you?
A: My mom is the drummer of "The Ducks." It's the parents' group that sits together at home games. So yeah, my mom is the one banging on all the drums.
