I Chose Cal because...I absolutely loved the coaches, the team and its chemistry, the environment, and the academics and athletic balance that Cal offers.
My favorite things about Berkeley are...the down to earth and low key vibe. There isn't an emphasis on material entities.
Something on my iPod that might surprise you is...O-Town's "Liquid Dreams."
The most interesting thing I did this summer was...getting surgery on my knee. Other than that, I was in bed all summer recovering.
When I'm upset, I like to...listen to music.
I get mad when I miss this TV show: I am not a big TV watcher unless I have absolutely nothing to do. I watch shows based on whatever is on at the time. I rarely ever plan my night or day to catch a certain show.
The best moment in sports history was when...hands down, all of Michael Jordan's game-winning shots!
Cal is better than other schools because...I'm here, duh.
Something I learned from my parents is...strength. I have two extremely strong parents and they have taught me how to be strong during difficult times.
If I wasn't a soccer player, I would be...a volleyball player.
Do you have any hidden talents? I can do the belly roll with my stomach without moving the rest of my body
What is one thing about your hometown that you miss? Most definitely my family
