Favorite Place on Campus: "Mary Low Coffee House and Johnson Pond."
Most Memorable Team Experience: "Right now (in Fall 2020) it’s not just one experience but all the times we have spent playing outside on a grass court. Watching our team work harder than ever to practice even though there are many obstacles in our way, it has been so exciting seeing our team come together and bring a traditionally inside sport outside!"
Plans After Colby: "I would love to get a masters in International Affairs and eventually work in a field relating international relations and/or human rights."
What do you think of the new Athletic Center?: "The new athletic center is beautiful! The lighting inside is incredible, and I am so excited to play on the new court!"
