Time to introduce yourself to fans- how would you describe yourself?
I am a fun outgoing person, I like to have fun and hang out with my friends. I am a very social person and can hold a conversation with just about anyone.
I was very nervous on draft day and when the Atlanta Dream selected me I was overjoyed with happiness.
I am a 3 point shooter, so I am hoping to add some perimeter shooting to the Dream.
I have never been outside of the airport in Atlanta :-) but the Atlanta airport is a very busy place so I can only imagine what the city is like! I am extremely excited to play in Atlanta and have the opportunity to be a part of their program.
As I anticipate my arrival in Atlanta, I am both nervous and excited. I have been getting prepared each day by shooting and lifting and trying to get my body into shape and ready for training camp May 15th.
When I am not on the court I like to hang-out with my friends and family. I enjoy going to the movies or just relaxing at home. I love to be outdoors (when the weather is nice- it is still pretty cold in Iowa!)
I am on both. You can follow me on Twitter @Kelslynn11

I am not really sure. Maybe Rob Dyrdek... when I watch his show Fantasy Factory on MTV it looks like he has a lot of fun.
I would love to stay connected with basketball in some way. I would also like to try broadcasting one day.
Law and Order SVU, CSI Miami, Gossip Girls, and Jersey Shore.
Everything from Taylor Swift to Lil Wayne. I love all music!
