Q: Why do you choose to attend New Mexico State?
I came to New Mexico State because they have a good program that fits with my major. They also have a very strong volleyball program and without it I wouldn't be able to continue my education.

Q: What has been your most rewarding experience off the court?
My most rewarding experience off the court would have to be making my family proud, knowing that they don't have to pay for my education.

Q: What do you like to do in your spare time?
In my spare time I like to sleep and eat and hang out with my friends.

Q: If you could have lunch with three people, dead or alive, who would they be and why?
If I could have lunch with three people dead or alive, one would be Michael Jackson because he was a legend to music and everyone knew who he was. The other would be my Uncle who passed away because I miss him and I didn't really get to say bye. The last person would have to be Trey Songz because he is amazing!

Q: Tell us something most people don't know about you.
I was born in Holland which is in Europe and I lived there until I was six! Dutch is my first language and I still speak it fluently!

Q: What are your plans following graduation?
My plans following graduation are to travel for a year or so and then either become a pro volleyball player or a physical therapist

Q: What is your favorite television show?
My favorite television show is Trey Songz like I said, he is AMAZING! Or the Backyardigans.

Q: What do you still hope to accomplish as a student-athlete?
I hope to become an All-American and have my jersey number with my last name hanging in the rafters. Also, to be a scholar athlete, keeping my GPA at a high level.

Q: What are your top three movies?
My top three movies are Lion King, Hurricane Season and Leap Year

Q: What class have you enjoyed the most thus far?
The class I enjoy the most so far would be Roots of Modern Europe, but that might change further in the year.

Q: What book would you recommend to a friend?
I would recommend the book "A child called 'it'"

Q: What goals / expectations do you have for your team this season?
I expect everyone to give 100% effort in every game and never give up! Our team goals are to win the WAC tournament title and to make it as far as we can in the NCAA tournament.

Q: If you could only eat one item for the rest of your life, what would it be?
If I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, it would be Dutch pancakes with Dutch chocolate spread!!! So good! My mouth is watering thinking of it.
