Fun Field Hockey Facts:
What stick do you use and why do you choose it?
I use the Ultra 95+ Ritual stick. I chose to use this stick because of the shape, the 3D skills, and the strong hits I can do with the stick.
Do you have a grip preference? If so, which grip and why do you like it?
I have used multiple different shammy grips from Longstreth.
How long have you been playing field hockey and what made you first want to start playing?
I have been playing field hockey since Kindergarten. My mom and her sisters grew up playing field hockey, so that inspired me to start playing. My older sisters also both played so I wanted to follow in their footsteps. Once I started, I immediately loved it and did not want to stop!
Do you have any pre-game rituals?
My high school team had a few pre-game rituals that have stuck with me. We would start out with each of us stating our goals for the game. After this, we would do mindset breathing and envision us achieving our goals during the game. This became a routine and now I do it either with my team or individually before each game I play in.
What's your go-to pre game meal?
My go-to pre game meal is a banana with peanut butter.
What is your go-to game day hairstyle?
My go-to game day hairstyle is two braids and a high bun.

Describe your playing style in three words?
I play fast, strong, and aggressive.
What do you like to do when you are not playing field hockey?
When I am not playing field hockey, I love to travel, ski, and hang out with my friends and family.
Do you have any game day superstitions?
Before every game of my high school career, two of my teammates and I would do a chest bump right before the game started.
