Q & A - About Gymnastics and U-M

Why do you like doing gymnastics?   I like doing gymnastics because it is a lot of fun and challenging at the same time.
What is your favorite event or routine? Why?   Vault because I like exploding off the horse and it comes most easily to me.
     
What attracted you to the University of Michigan?   The academic excellence and great tradition, the great town of Ann Arbor, the girls on the team and the coaches.
What has been your most memorable gymnastics moment at Michigan?   Right now, Freshmen Fridays.
     
What has been your biggest challenge/obstacle in gym or college (or both)? How did your overcome this challenge?   Overcoming fears. I took it slowly and tried to work through them.
What has been your most embarrassing moment in the gym (ever)?   My first Level 8 meet when I did a flyaway off of bars and landed flat on my face.
What goes through your head immediately before a routine?   I try to go through a mental routine and just focus on doing my best.
     
What advice would you share with up-and-coming Michigan gymnasts?   Never give up on your dreams and when you are going through a rough patch, just keep working hard and try to get through it because it will only make you a stronger person. Believe in yourself and you can do anything. And most of all, Go Blue!!
What is your favorite part of the gym meets?   Performing in front of a crowd and cheering on my teammates.
Other than Michigan, where is your favorite place to compete and why?   I really enjoyed competing in Marseilles, France. It was exciting to compete in another country and experience the different lifestyle there. I also met many girls from other countries. It was a lot of fun.
     
What is the most interesting person that you've met at UM and why? (new 11/05!)   The most interesting person that I have met at U of M is University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman. I was able to meet her through a mentorship program. Four people were in my mentorship group and President Coleman was our mentor. We had a pancake dinner at her house one time, which was a lot of fun. She is a wonderful down-to-earth woman and she taught me a lot about Michigan.
What is the worst exam that you've taken? (new 11/05!)   An organic chemistry test.
