What is your favorite thing so far about this 2010 Team?
My favorite thing so far about this 2010 Lady Hawk Team is definitely the team chemistry. I feel like I've been playing with this team for years.

What is one of your personal goals as you enter college soccer?
One of my personal goals I've set for collegiate soccer is to keep moving and looking forward after each game. Each mistake is a lesson learned and I'm striving to improve myself every game.

What is your favorite pregame activity?
One word - DANCING!!! I absolutely love dancing and getting pumped up in the locker room right before game time. Once the song 'Gold Dust' comes on, it's time to bust out the moves!

Who has been a leader for you so far with this Lady Hawk Team?
Tori Champagne. She has been so welcoming to me and made my transition to Quincy so much easier. She has been a leader to me not only on the field, but off as well. I really look up to her as a person and feel like she's always there for me and will be no matter what. Overall, everyone has been a great leader and showed me the ropes and some point in time; whether it was saying "fitness center" and not "physical center", or to keep my head high after a loss.

What is your Nickname?
Jodaich! (Jo-Day-Shhh) Even though most people don't call me it because it's longer than my real name, it still floats around. Some people call me Jodith as a nickname because I tricked them into thinking that was my real birth name.

What is your favorite food?
My favorite real food would have to be spaghetti with marinara sauce. My favorite junk food would be ice cream.

Who is your favorite sports team?
BLUES!! I love watching hockey and going to the Blues games. Even if you have the worst seats in the center, it is still a blast.

Who is your favorite athlete?
To be honest, I really don't have an overall favorite athlete. For each sport it would vary. My favorite hockey player would be Sidney Crosby, and my favorite soccer player would be Hope Solo.

What is your favorite song on your IPod?
She Wolf - Shakira (hahahahaha all time favorite)
