If you could see yourself playing another sport (and being really good at it), what would it be?
Tennis! I loved playing when I was younger, but it was in the same season as volleyball so I couldn't play competitively in high school.

What is your fondest childhood memory?
Exploring the woods with my sister was always an adventure as a kid. Although I still like to explore the woods even though I'm 19.

What are two things most people don't know about you?
I like to watch the deer in my backyard and I take ridiculously long showers.

What's your favorite food? Favorite restaurant in BG?
My favorite foods are steak and potatoes. I love Kermits and Bob Evans. It's all about breakfast!

If someone were to make a movie of your life, which actress would you want to play you?
I would play myself and co-star with Brett Favre!

What is one of your biggest pet peeves?
I hate when people drag their feet when they walk.

Who has had the biggest impact on your life so far?
My parents, especially my dad. He has been my role model forever, and I hope to be half as successful as he is.

If you could have any job in the world, what would be your dream job
Being Brett Favre's wife. Do I really need to explain why?

What is your favorite place on campus?
The business administration building because I have so many classes there, it's like my home. Also, whenever it is cold or raining, I always walk through there to escape the bad weather!

What is one item that you couldn't live without?
My watch because I hate not knowing what time it is.
