What’s one thing you can’t live without?

Chocolate. I love Reese’s, Twix, and Kit Kats. Can’t get enough. 

What was your senior quote in your high school yearbook?

“The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog.” Still very true, and I dedicated that to my dog, Moose. 

If you owned a boat, what would you name it?

Pug Boat. Pugs are my favorite dog breed, and my parents promised me a pug puppy as a graduation gift. 

What’s on your bucket list?

Skydive. That’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and my grandpa did it at age 85, which has made me want to do it even more.

If you could marry a celebrity, who would it be? 

Chris Evans, a.k.a. Captain America. Ever since I watched the first Captain America movie, I have had a big crush on him. 

Who’s your favorite athlete?

Mia Hamm. When I was younger, I looked up to her so much because of her style of play. Now I look up to her because all that she has done for women in sports. 

What’s been the proudest moment of your career?

Being asked to try out for Team USA. It has been a dream of mine ever since I was little and always an honor to represent our country.

It’s 2029 — Where are you and what are you doing?

Hopefully, I would have just played in lacrosse’s first-ever Olympics in 2028 in LA and I can retire my lacrosse career with a gold medal.

If you were trying out for “American Idol,” which song would you sing?

“Hello” by Adele. I always walk around my house singing it at the top of my lungs. My family has a love-hate relationship with that song, but at least I have a lot of practice singing it.

For extra conditioning, do you skate around LaValle Stadium in your Heelys?

When I would go to [my older sister Cori’s] home games [at Stony Brook], my best friend and I would heely around the stadium the whole game. [Heelys are] virtually a built-in skateboard in your shoes. My 8-year-old self would be skating around the stadium!
