What’s your favourite hockey memory?

My favourite hockey memory would have to be getting my 100 points at Merrimack College. It was an accomplishment that was very hard to achieve.

When I’m away from the rink I’m normally working, playing video games or hangout with my family.

Unfortunately, I didn’t pick up any hobbies during quarantine, which would have been a good opportunity to learn many things. I mainly was working and helping out my community throughout quarantine.

The coolest place I have traveled has been Belfast, Ireland with Merrimack College.

What advice do you have for a young girl who wants to play professional hockey one day?

I would say don’t let anyone tell you what you are capable of doing. Whatever your goals are, do what you need to do to complete them. And don’t get discouraged if you don’t make the best teams/school or even national team/camps. Just focus on your goals and don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do something. Believe in yourself.
