There is not a day that goes by that I don't want to brag about all of her accomplishments and make her as proud of me as I am of her”…The person she most admires in the sports world is Simone Biles (“Not only is what she does hands down amazing but in the Tokyo Olympics she showed the world that there are things more important than just competing in your sport, and that your mental health should be a top priority”)…Favorite course at Chico State is Humanities 281W (“Food and Film”), and her favorite instructor is Dr. Vernon Andrews (African American History)…Why she chose to attend Chico State: “From the very first moment I visited it felt like home. I love the fact that I am not far from my hometown so friends and family can visit often.
