What is your favorite sports memory?
|
| My freshman year in college, our basketball team was trailing the three-time defending champions in the championship game. They were looking to win their fourth straight title, but we overcame a 13-point deficit with five minutes to go. With the game tied at 54, I made the game-winning three-pointer with six seconds remaining to win the game. |

Why do you want to play women’s football?
|
| I honestly want to play just for the love of the game. Admittedly, it feels great to be able to “prove” something to outsiders of women’s football who are looking in, but it feels even better to prove to yourself that you are able to reach your full potential. |

What does it mean to you to be a D.C. Diva?
|
| It means that I have a chance to start over, learn new perspectives, and create new, everlasting friendships. I’ve always felt that the absolute greatest thing about playing women’s football is not necessarily the actual playing of the game but the friendships you build and the memories you create. Those are the things that really stick with you forever, and the opportunity to create those relationships lies here in DC with the Divas. |
