What is one interesting story in your life? This one time when I was little, I thought if you stuck a ping pong ball in the microwave it would un-indent the ball, so I did. It caught the microwave on fire and turned the microwave black … all that was left was ashes, not the dent-free ping pong ball that I was expecting – sorry mom, you were probably always wondering what that was.

I chose my jersey number because … Kelsey Hunyadi stole my other one … awkward haha.
