What has been your best Halloween costume and how old were you when you wore it?
Last year for Halloween, me, Meg (Griffin) and Rasa (Virsilaite) all dressed up as Oompa Loompas from the movie "Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory". We had the green hair going and everything. It was hilarious.

Favorite all-time movie?
Pretty Woman

Favorite sports movie?
Remember the Titans

Are you addicted to reality TV shows? If so, which one(s) do you absolutely have to watch every week?
I loved "The Bachelorette" and "Joe Millionaire". I have also always been a fan of "The Real World", but I'm usually too busy to see it during the week. I love to watch the full day of reruns on Saturday.

My apartment

Other than volleyball, what is your favorite sport?
I like most water sports, especially skiing and tubing.

Excluding yourself (of course), who is your favorite Illini athlete and why?
Dee Brown because while he is not the biggest player, he definitely makes up for it with his speed and determination.

My favorite part of being an Illini Volleyball player is...
being surrounded by such great people all the time in my teammates, coaches and support staff.

The team I want to beat the most this season is...
Minnesota, again.

How has the position change gone from middle blocker to outside hitter for you?
For the most part, it has gone well. It has been a challenge and I am still learning and battling every time I step onto the court to be the best.

After graduating and landing my dream job, the first thing I'm going to buy is...
a Range Rover.

What is something unique about yourself that most people don't know about you?
My family has moved nine times, and I went to two grade schools, two middle schools and two high schools.

Who would you want to play you in a movie about your life?
Sandra Bullock because she is goofy and is accident-prone like I am.

The best thing about playing at Huff Hall is...
having the fans so close to the court and having the band, Illini Pride, and the Spike Squad behind us.

If you had a free airplane ticket to go anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Australia because I've always wanted to go and have heard that it's beautiful.

What is your favorite class that you've taken at Illinois?
HDFS (Human Development and Family Studies) 105.

What is something you do to relax when there's time to get away from volleyball and class?
Watch the sunset from my balcony or look at the stars.
