Why did you come to Lock Haven University?

Italian.
What is your most embarrassing moment?
My most embarrassing moment was
when I was in elementary school and I had just gotten off the bus with my
sister. My sister was behind me talking to me so I turned my head to look at
her, not looking where I was going
and when I turned back around I
walked right into the stop sign. The
next day the whole bus was laughing at me.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
I have a lot of pet peeves. If I
had to choose one, it’s when people who tell me how to do something when I
already know how to do especially when they are new at it or don’t know what
they’re talking about.
Who is your role model?
My role model is my father; he
works hard to get what he wants and is a good person. He knows what he wants
and does it. He doesn't do it half way or cheat his way through it. He figures
out the best way, does his research and completes it to the best of his
ability.
What is your favorite pro sports team?
My favorite sports team is the
Pittsburgh Penguins, I love watching hockey.
What do you like most about game day?

day is the nervousness and the excitement of the game to come. I always get butterflies in my stomach before
a game and I get really excited to play.
What are your pregame rituals?
Before games I just like listening
to music and getting ready for the game by putting my jersey on. It just gets
me excited to play and focused.

I would like to be remembered as a
great volleyball player, a good teammate, hardworking, and having good
sportsmanship.

A lot of people don’t know that I

together.

In high school we had an

I’ve never really tried to do an
impression of anyone.

school, I want to have a good education and have a job lined up for me before I
leave LHU.
