"People may say I’m a little weird but honestly I wouldn’t want it any other way. I’ve always been a hands-on person and love to fix things from computers to cars to the picture on the wall that just won’t hang right. I’ve been playing ice hockey since I was 10 years old and also play rugby in Harrisburg. I spend a tremendous amount of time with my friends without whom I would not be here today. I wear my heart on my sleeve and am passionate in everything I do."

WHY PLAY FOOBALL?
"Besides the obvious love of the game, friends who have become family, the fire it kick-starts in my gut… I play because when I was 12 years old and tried to join a local pee-wee league football team with my friends, my father told me that “girls don’t play football”. I play to prove him and every other disbeliever wrong. Watch and learn my friends, the game is on."
