Q: How long have you been playing field hockey?

A: I've been playing since around 7th grade.

Q: How did you first get involved?

A: Well, I went to Tower Hill, so the sport is real big there. And I've always been really athletic and I love playing team sports, and I came to Charter to play for Coach Cindy, who is such a great coach.

Q: How has the field hockey program progressed since you first joined?

A: I think my freshmen year we won six games. We've come real far, to go from losing so many games to what we have now. When I first came we had lost a lot of seniors so we were kind of rebuilding, we really owe our success to Coach Cindy, she's such a great coach.

Q: Do you plan on going to college and potential playing field hockey at the next level?

A: Yes, definitely. Not sure about playing, and I'm totally undecided about where I'll go but I definitely plan on going.
