What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

The sport brings me happinesses and joy and it's more easy for me to play because I'm tall, athletic and when I feel down I just play ball and it'll bring me back too reality and a happy place.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

My coach, he always told me I would be something in life and so I got on the field and courts and showed him what I can do. I believed in myself and I carry that in my heart. Coming from a single mother home I knew I can make anything happen.


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Seeing my son on the field and on the courts knowing that he's an athlete and seeing the joy and smile on his face knowing his mother is in the crowds as he makes himself and team players happy makes me the proudest as his Mom.
