What’s the most played song on your favorite playlist?
I will listen to anything country. Right now, it is “Burning Man” by Dierks Bentley.
Who’s your favorite athlete?
I always loved watching Rajon Rondo play basketball. He’s athletic, quick and moves the ball well to set his teammates up.
If you could marry a celebrity, who would it be?
Julian Edelman. He just comes off as having the best personality. He’s also wicked athletic and cute.
If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
Tom Brady. He is great at what he does, knows how to lead, and knows how to get the best out of his teammates. I would love to pick his brain and discuss sports with him.
What type of animal would best describe your style of play?
A leopard. If you know me, you know I love leopards. I’d like to think my style of play is fast like that.
What is your favorite hobby?
I’ve really gotten into boxing classes. It’s a great way to relieve stress and clear my mind, plus it’s an awesome workout.
What is your favorite inspirational quote?
“Tough times don’t last. Tough people do.”
What’s the biggest obstacle you’ve overcome?
I drive a plow truck in the winter, and the first time I went out, I was faced with a 3-foot blizzard. I was out for 36 hours straight.
When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?
The first girl on the Red Sox. That’s what happens when you have two brothers.
If you could eat only one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Anything Italian. Probably have to go with my dad’s spaghetti and meatballs.
It’s 2029. Where are you and what are you doing?
I’m married with children and continuing to build Gold Star Lacrosse, the club program that my sister-in-law (and New England Command teammate) Kristin Igoe and I started.

What differentiates you from others?
I always try to make the best of a situation. I keep a positive mindset, and I enjoy every moment.
