If you could pick a position other than MF, what would it be?

For a while we had this joke I would play Goal Keeper this year, but thank God for us Jenna came along. So I guess I’d play there because they don’t have to run around.

What is your most memorable moment playing soccer at Marietta?

At Penn State Altoona, I was playing outside mid on the same side the bench was on and I made a mistake and Coach Holguin reamed me from like a foot away. He said my face was priceless, and we talk about it to this day.

If you were to play another sport, what would it be, and why?

I’d like to try basketball, because it’s the only sport I’ve really never played and it’s inside, so I wouldn’t have to play in the cold weather.

What are your plans after graduation?

It could be anything. Last week it was culinary school, and now it’s guidance counseling. All the internships and jobs I’ve had, I’ve just kind of fallen into along the way, so I’m pretty confident something will find me.

If you could travel to any place in the world, where would it be?

I’ve always wanted to go to the Atlantic and the Bahamas. I’m really into the whole marine life deal, and I love lounging around on my vacations. Anywhere that has a beach is good enough for me.

Who is your favorite actor/actress?

That’s hard to say. Sarah Jessica Parker has to be my favorite because of Sex and the City, and I’d have Brad Pitt any day.
