What’s your most used emoji?

The cross-eyed silly-face emoji with its tongue sticking out.

Breakfast, lunch or dinner?

I’m a big breakfast girl. French toast, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs and bacon with a grilled blueberry muffin on the side.

Where is the best place to get that meal?

In Baltimore, I would say Miss Shirley’s Cafe. We go there all the time with my family and it gets catered a lot for our team.

Which three teammates do you want with you in a Zombie apocalypse?

Jordan Carr, Campbell Case and Madison Doucette. They all bring a sense of urgency, which I think would be good for survival.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

It’s from my brother. He once told me, “There are two types of people in the world: The casters and the people who get cast.” It’s stuck with me throughout my career and life.

What was the worst job you’ve ever had?

Landscaping. It gets repetitive. I like every day to be different.

Do you have any hidden talents?

I can do a backflip. I used to play club soccer, and a friend taught me in about sixth grade.

How do you find happiness outside of your sport, even when you don’t play well that day?

My family and friends. They’re my rocks. They never fail to put a smile on my face.

DOUBLE OVERTIME

What was your favorite moment from last season with Hopkins?

Our Rutgers regular season game when we came back from a seven-goal deficit. It brought us closer as a team and showed we could do anything we put our minds to.
