BEING A LEADER
She enjoys that she is considered a veteran of the national team. "Being a vet means a lot. I've been around for quite a bit and went to the Paralympics at London 2012 and Rio 2016. I think showing what I know to the younger players and how hard I work, that dedication is how you accomplish your goals. I enjoy teaching them what I've learned over the years. Work hard, follow your goals, and then go to the Paralympics." (publicnow.com, 14 Feb 2020)
