1. How did you start playing basketball?

At first I was a cheerleader and ran track, so basketball wasn’t even in the picture. My brother and sister played basketball though, so my dad started practicing with me and I turned out to actually be pretty good, and then it became my main sport.

2. What is the best part about playing basketball?

The best part about basketball is being a part of a team. We have such a strong bond and they’re like my sisters. Also, being able to travel and play against more intense competition. I just love the game. It takes my mind off of things and every time I step on the court I try to play my best.

3. How often do you practice throughout the year?

Pretty much everyday. I rarely get a day off because I always want to work to make myself better. #Ballislife

4. Who is your basketball inspiration ?

Maya Moore. She can attack the basket, pull up jumper, and she’s very athletic. She’s like the female version of Carmelo Anthony. I admire her game a lot.
