    Best thing about playing soccer at KU:  

    Definitely the team, everyone is like a family and it makes everything worth it.

    I chose KU because: 

    The team is the most important part.  I love them all so much.  The campus is beautiful, and it's close enough so my parents can come to my games.


    Favorite male soccer player:
       

    David Beckham


    Favorite female soccer player:
     

    Michelle Rasmussen


    Team other then the USA you cheered for during the World Cup:
     

    There was a few but England and Brazil mainly.


    Best soccer player ever faced:
     

    Nicki Lukin, Ottawa University.  We played on the same team since we were 5 years old.


    Pregame ritual:
     

    Listening to music with lots of dancing and craziness.


    Favorite TV show:
     

    `Grey's Anatomy', `Take Home Chef', TLC's `Untold Stories of the ER', `The OC and `Friends'.


    Favorite movie:
     

    `Wedding Crashers', `Dirty Dancing', `Crash' and `Italian Job'.


    Greatest college soccer memory:

    Playing the Canadian National team this spring.


    Favorite place to eat in Lawrence:
     

    Longhorn when my parents are in town.


    Not many people know this about me:

    I'm curious about everything: I like to see how things works and are put together from the mind, to the body, to inventions; anything I can get my hands on.


    Outside of soccer, my greatest talent is:
     

    I have a natural ability to work with children.  I also enjoy observing the world around me through the camera's eye.


    After college I plan on:
     

    Maybe graduate school then getting a job and enjoying life to it's fullest.

     

    Thing I'm going to miss most about KU soccer:
    Besides dancing in the locker room, I will miss the team. They are absolutely amazing; they're my best friends. I'll miss seeing them everyday. I'll miss traveling with the team, we always have a great time and we've been fortunate to travel to some really great places. I'll miss my parents cheering me on, even if I can't see you guys there, I can hear ya! :) I will miss the competitiveness and doing the Rock, Chalk chant before every game, it has been an honor to be a Jayhawk.
