What made you want to come to Texas Tech?
I came to Texas Tech because of the family atmosphere not only inside the Women's Basketball program but also around campus. The environment made me feel comfortable to learn and grow as an individual on the court and in the classroom. The competitive mindset the coaches have is contagious on the players of the program and makes playing basketball even more fun. My teammates are very supportive of one another and I know that once my time of playing at Tech comes to an end, I will be prepared for whatever is next for me in the real world.
Â
What is your favorite sport outside of basketball?
Football!!!!

If you could pick one superpower, what would it be and what would you use it for?

If you could pick one famous person to meet, who would it be?
Barack and Michelle Obama
What is your go-to pregame music?
