It is always a pleasure to teach her as a coach, as she learns quickly.

Describe a memorable soccer experience you've had.
It was my last year playing intramural and I was in the net the whole time. I had a 7-0 shutout. I had a shutout for the whole tournament. In the last game for the finals, there were 5 seconds left and the other team shot but I blocked it and it hit my throat and I remember I couldn't breathe for a little while but I didn't care because I won the game for my team.
Tell us something about yourself you are proud of that is not soccer-related.
For basketball, I got to play up a year because of how good I was. It was me and one other girl. There were supposed to be three of us but one of the girls declined so there are only two of us.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I don't really know yet.
Favorite Teacher & Why?
My favorite teacher is probably my 8th-grade English teacher because she's just fun to hang around. She's really funny and she's also very kind.
