Why did you choose to go to your school?
Even though I am from Louisiana, purple and gold has never run through my family's veins. Looking for an SEC college experience, I looked outside of Louisiana and found Ole Miss. I fell in love the moment my foot hit the campus, loving everything that the university represented.

Most memorable moment as a member of your squad?
My greatest memory as an Ole Miss Rebelette was the 2010 Cotton Bowl in the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. I will never forget the feeling of dancing in such a grand venue. Priceless.

Who is your school's main Rival?
Texas A&M University

What do you like the best about the rivalry?
Our rivalry with Texas A&M began in 1899 and the rivalry runs thru the heart of central Texas since our universities are located only 90 miles away from each other. Any time our two schools meet for an athletic event, it is known as the Battle of the Brazos.
When most think of rivalries, they associate this thought with football, yet in Bear Country the rivalry against our neighbors, the fighting Texas Aggies, is found on the basketball court. The best aspect of this rivalry is the pride that is found within the hearts of each of the teams and those that follow them in the stands. The rivalry against the Texas A&M Aggies and the Baylor Bears is one that cannot be beat. Being a school within the Big 12 Conference, rivalry is a way of life. Rivalry is not only found amongst the teams but likewise amongst the fans, the coaches, and even the cheerleaders. For these two universities, the outcome of every game, every practice, every point, every rebound, every free throw, matters and that is the definition of rivalry.

Most memorable moment as a member of your squad?

The first time I ran through the "T" in Neyland Stadium. There are no words that can explain the feeling you get when you are running the football team onto the field while the stadium is in an uproar. It's such an honor to lead the Vols onto the field before the game starts.
