We used to have season tickets for the Timberwolves and growing up I fondly remember watching Kevin Garnett and thinking that he was so talented (not to mention enormous!). He was my favorite because he was the tall guy that could play any position – I think it reminded me that anything is possible.
How would you describe yourself in three words or less?
Ambitious, competitive, passionate!
What is your favorite movie?
Crazy, Stupid Love or Sweet Home Alabama
Do you have a favorite sports memory that sticks out to you?
When I was in seventh grade, our Orono girls' basketball team won first place in the state tournament at the end of the season. Even though it was so long ago, I remember that being the moment that made me identify myself as an athlete and shaped sports as a priority for the rest of my school career.
What’s an item you’d like to check off your bucket list in the next year?
I cannot wait to be admitted to a university and graduate high school!
If you could visit any place in the world, where would you go and why?
I want to go to Greece! There are so many facets of Greece to experience like the coast line, the food, the history, and the architecture.
What are your plans next year (going to college? majoring in? playing sports?)
I plan on going to a university next year (still to be determined) and I am really hoping to major in marketing and international business. As far as staying active, I hope to be an active member of a fan section and also participate in intramural sports.
