Favorite sport to watch (other than Field Hockey): Men's lacrosse

Favorite place you've traveled to and why: The Florida Keys- It was educational and the material was fascinating. Plus, it was just gorgeous down there. We went kayaking through the Mangrove Forests, snorkeling around Ft. Jefferson on the Dry Tortugas, experienced some of the cultural life of Key West in Mallory Square and the back door of my hotel room opened up to a canal bordered by exotic foliage. It was just awesome.

Dream job: Teacher or Film editor/producer

Best advice you ever received and from whom: "Live now because you can." - Chip Johnson (friend and coworker)

Favorite Villanova Field Hockey moment: Making the gauntlet

Favorite field hockey moment (non-Villanova): Winning the semi-final game in the 2004 DE state finals versus Concord.

Best thing about being a Wildcat: Not only do I attend one of the most prestigious universities in the country and get to play Division 1 hockey with a great bunch of girls who are more like a family than a team, but I am also part of a community of people. I feel at home here at Villanova. Plus, our basketball team is going to the Final Four!

Anything other interesting facts we should know about you? I can kind of juggle. I'm a lifeguard. I know all the words to every Matchbox 20 song ever recorded and I'm a diehard Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra fan. I also make awesome Oreo pudding.
