1. On an off day, where could we find you?
“Probably in the Athletics office. Honestly — I live there. I pretty much live at Fanshawe College, 9:00 until 9:00 at night, a.m. to p.m. [I've been involved in Athletics] for three years now, it's pretty nuts. It's pretty cool, though, you gotta put your time in.”

2. What's one thing we should know about you, and one thing we shouldn't know about you?
“One thing you should know about me is that my heart and soul goes into the game of volleyball — especially competitive volleyball. One thing you shouldn't know about me? I don't know... the numbers. Let's just say the numbers... it means women-wise.”

3. What's your perfect day like?
“Waking up around 10:00, making breakfast, going to the gym, and then probably going up to the cottage, in Ipperwash. Going to the beach, usually... pretty much the perfect day is about that — going to Ipperwash or Port Stanley or Grand Bend, going anywhere, hitting the beaches. It's great.”

4. What's your favourite simple recipe?
“Kraft Dinner, man, for sure. So simple.”

5. What's an FSU service that's helped you out in your time here at school?
“I would say the online bursary application. Kevin McKay helped me out, trying to get some bursaries, and I did. I actually got a bursary last year, so I would say the online bursary application — it definitely helped me out, money-wise.”
