MENTOR
She will be age 37 at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, and enjoys her role as one of the veterans on the team. "Having a chance to impart some of your wisdom to the younger players - that's one of the reasons I grew so much as a basketball player. I've seen myself as a leader and someone who can set a good example for my teammates for quite a few years. My role on the court is going to change and I'm good with that. I'm trying to help my teammates grow in any way." (ottawasun.com, 25 Jun 2018)
