What I like most about Siena swimming and diving: My team and how well we motivate each other

My best swimming and diving moment has been: Getting to walk out for finals at MAACs last season

My superstitions are: I have to do the same stretches in the same order before every race, or else I'll feel off and start bugging out

The player on the team who I relate to best is: 1) Emily Carideo: because she's a crazy southern girl like me. 2) Kelsey Helin because she takes care of me and keeps me in line.

The funniest player on the team is: Christen Cherry; her childhood stories are too much for me. She's hilarious.

One thing people would be surprised to know about me: I have a sick obsession with Salt and Pepa, as well as Sir-mix-a-lot; and not just their mainstream stuff.

If I could be on a reality TV show, it would be: Man vs. Food; I've never lost an eating challenge

What is that one thing, you can't do without: My cell phone. It's a sad truth.

If I could travel anywhere in the world, I would go to: New Zealand, because Lord of the Rings was filmed there

My hobbies are: Making playlists, reading, spending money, harassing my teammates

My biggest fear: Losing a tooth, or a finger or something like that

If I were a crayon, I would be: Cerulean Blue; it's my favorite Crayola hue, and its got the right amount of cool and the right amount of "pop"

The best piece of advice I have gotten: "If it don't apply, let it fly."- Flavor Flav

The person who has helped me the most is: My momma. She's the raddest woman alive.
