... family. I am surrounded by people who love and support one another, not just on the field but off as well. We come together to tackle life and become be er people in everything we do. Griz Soccer is made up of hardworking, fun, dedicated people who want to maximize their poten al and get the most out of life.

What would your perfect day be like? It would start off early in the morning with a book, some breakfast and definitely coffee. I would have a killer workout in the morning, then just spend the rest of the day with family and friends

the dog. However, I don’t have a dog, so I would save myself

What is the best thing that happened to you this summer? Going up to Eureka, Montana, with my favorite people. We went hiking, fishing, rock-climbing and just enjoyed life

Aside from necessi es, what one thing could you not go a day without? Definitely coffee, or some form of physical ac vity. Coffee ALWAYS comes first though (:

What is your favorite meal of the day? Breakfast, but for dinner. So maybe dinner. Unless coffee can count as a meal. Then it is definitely coffee

What is your most useless skill? I can make clover with my tongue. It really has go en me nowhere in life

When are you happiest? When I am surrounded by the people that I love What could you eat each day the rest of your life and never re of it?

I could eat pasta every day, twice a day, for the rest of my life and it s ll wouldn’t be enough For what in your life are you most grateful? Everyone around me: family, friends, coaches, even strangers with a smile. The rela onships I have are what make my life so great. I am always inspired and amazed by others.

I am also grateful for life itself. It’s not perfect, but it’s whatever you want it to be What’s the No. 1 thing you would save first from your burning house? If I had a dog, I would save

What is something that makes you irra onally angry? When people are rude to other people

Not to men on her effort to hit every high note in every Ariana Grande song Do you shape your own des ny or in the end does it come down to fate? I believe you can create and be anything you want in life. It just comes down to how bad you want it and how much you’re willing to work for it. I also believe that everything happens for a reason and some mes there are things out of your control that happen and change the path you are on. One of my favorite quotes is from John Lennon.

“Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.” I believe stuff happens and you choose how to react to what life throws at you What is your best piece of advice? For people to do what makes them happy and live their life. No one else can live life for you. If you live your life according to how other people think you should, you will never be happy What three habits could most improve your life? Yoga, medita on and learning how to relax Would you abandon your phone, internet, family and friends for six months for a prize of $1 million? I would abandon my phone for free, but I am not so sure about my friends or family for six months. That would definitely be a lot of me to reflect and learn about myself. I am afraid I would start to go insane

... being part of something bigger than myself. It means that you get an opportunity to contribute to a team and make as much of an impact as you can because together everyone achieves more.

I would drive around in my car with my best friends and just jam to music What’s the worst topping to put on pizza? Pineapple.

... opportunity. Although just one word, I believe that the meaning behind it is endless. The opportuni es that this program brings into my life, such as a family atmosphere, fun mes and the chance to con nue to play the sport I fell in love with at five years old, are just a few but make me beyond excited. So, yes, I do believe Griz Soccer means opportunity because of what it brings to me.

When are you happiest? When I am doing anything that I love. This could be playing soccer, skiing or hanging out with friends and family What is your favorite meal of the day? BREAKFAST. I loveeeeeee breakfast so much! I could eat breakfast for lunch and dinner and never get red of it For what in your life are you most grateful? My family and the endless love they have given me and their unmatchable efforts in helping me pursue my dreams and get many crazy pets :) Aside from the necessi es, what one thing could you not go a day without? My Eos chaps ck. Ever catch me walking down the street, I will have it. Get in my car, there may be a few. Come into my room, there will be more than you can count What is your most unreasonable fear? Airplanes. I freak out whenever I fly anywhere, and I get the biggest amount of anxiety before the flight. I am super scared of heights, and planes fly super high, haha Where do you like to go to have fun? Anywhere outdoors What is your most useless skill? I can move my fingers into different pa erns on different hands at the same me What’s the worst topping to put on pizza? PINEAPPLE What have you always wanted to try but have never had the courage to do? Go skydiving. I have a massive fear of heights, but I think the feeling of free-falling for more than a few seconds would just be something so cool that you can’t get anywhere else

Would you rather be too warm or too cold? Too cold, because I feel like it is easier to put more clothes on, but you can only take so much clothing off before you can’t take anything else off, and you’ll s ll be hot

What’s the best sound in the world? Birds in the morning because it’s a very natural sound. When you add in some wind blowing in the trees it’s just such an amazing and peaceful sound to wake up to

You wake up to discover you’re the only person on earth. What happens? I go eat all the free food in the world and drive all the really nice cars everyone le behind, haha

Do you plan out your vaca ons or go with the flow? I go with a flow for sure. I believe that the defini on of a vaca on is to go with a flow and find your inner zen

What is your best piece of advice? Honestly, do what makes you happy and pursue your dreams with drive and dedica on. I am big on the thrill you get by proving others wrong who stand in the way of your dreams, so bull them over and con nue reaching your goals

Would you rather go camping in the woods or stay at a beach resort? I would rather stay in the woods because I hate sand so much. It just gets all over and never seems to leave your clothes or your bed If you had two hours le on earth, what would you do? I would eat all the food I could so that I go into a massive food sleep. My last few minutes on earth would be very peaceful

Do you shape your own des ny or in the end does it all just come down to fate? I believe you shape your own des ny to an extent, but at some point it does come down to fate. You have to rely on the world introducing you to possibili es that help you get to where you want to be. You can only shape so much of your des ny before fate has to give you extra help

What’s the best sound in the world? When you have ice in a cup and then you pour water into the cup and the ice starts to make a crackling noise You wake up to discover you’re the only person on earth. What happens? I would freak out for a quick second and be really confused. Then I would probably go to a bunch of stores to shop for the clothes that are always super expensive that I could never afford. I would most likely get food next and try to figure out how I ended up being the only person on Earth What’s the worst topping to put on pizza? I really don’t like pineapple on pizza because it’s warm fruit which really doesn’t taste appealing

Aside from the necessi es, what one thing could you not go a day without? Tex ng my mom for help

When I am jamming to music with friends and nothing else but that moment is on my mind What is your favorite meal of the day? Breakfast because if done properly and in a good manner it can create a day full of promise and purpose. At home, breakfast was a me of day when everyone was together. We could plan out the day and enjoy a wonderful, strong pot of steaming coffee What could you eat each day the rest of your life and never re of it?

Veggie Straws. They are so crunchy, healthy (fish) and tasty. You can snack on them, eat them as a meal, with a meal or as a treat For what in your life are you most grateful? California. You might have expected me to say kindness or some person or something cuter, but California has everything that I am grateful for. The amazing friends I made, the food I eat, the family that loves me and people of inclusive and kind natures. Of course, these a ributes are available in many other states too. I have known California all my 18 years of life and am so grateful for these amazing things it has provided me with What is something that makes you irra onally angry? When people treat anything, from another person, animal, object or just the space they are in with unnecessary disrespect. This can take many forms from racism, not properly separa ng trash, homophobia, non-environmentally conscious decisions, irra onal words, sexism and many more forms of aberrant choices. It takes me too much will power not to say or do anything to correct it and in an ill-fashioned manner What is your favorite holiday? Coachella. Although it might not be a universal holiday, in California it’s a pre y big holiday. Three days of nonstop music, overpriced food, sand, hot weather, cool ou its and amazing people

When an orchestra is warming up -- aka a cacophony or tuning -- is such a peaceful sound What’s your favorite thing about your best friend? We both have the same unusual aggressive and silly sarcasm.

And most of all we both love a good adventure (with some good food brought along) Would you rather go camping in the woods or stay at a beach resort?

Neither because both interfere with natural systems of wildlife who have already been put under enough stress from human destruc on What’s the worst topping to put on a pizza? As a vegetarian and previously a vegan, I am devoted to saying the worst topping on a pizza is meat. But as a previous carnivore, I respect those who eat meat but no longer personally par cipate in meat toppings and find almost all other toppings, even pineapple, are much be er Who is the most annoying celebrity? The Kardashians. They have no respect for the world around them, no morals and no understanding of life. All they know and care about is themselves and how they look or what they are doing. There are other celebri es too wrapped up in themselves to get involved and give back, but the Kardashians stand out the most to me because of their selfish and uncaring regard You wake up to discover you’re the only person on earth.
