What is your favorite book?
�The Bible.�
Who is your favorite basketball player?
�Dirk Nowitzki/Steve Nash.�
Have you played on a professional team before?
�I�m the oldest rookie. Let�s see, I�ve played for the Chill. I�ve played with New York twice. I�ve been with Seattle, and I�ve been with San Antonio. I really never played. I was on their training camp rosters. So I guess I�ve never really played on a WNBA team.�
Is this your first time in Connecticut? What was your first impression?
�This is my first time in Connecticut and it has been wonderful. It really has. Honestly, the people, the management, the staff have treated my like a human being and I appreciate that. It�s just a different atmosphere. That�s all that you can ask for when you�re coming into a situation like this, that it�s comfortable, you�re welcomed and, whether you�re a good basketball player or not, everybody�s going to treat you the same.�
Who is the player you most look forward to playing against and why?
�Oh, I don�t really know.�
Who is the player you most look forward to playing with and why?
�Everybody on this team. Katie Douglas, Lindsay Whalen, Nykesha Sales. They�ve done a phenomenal job here. I�ve seen them play, and I like their style. I like what Coach �T� has done with them. They play hard and play aggressive.�
What would you be doing if you were not here at Sun training camp?
�I would be planning a career. I need to start a career, a real job. I would just be trying to get a job for the rest of my life. I live by the moment, so whatever comes up.�
What is one thing you have learned since coming to Connecticut?
�Every opportunity in your life has a reason for it. You just have to take it day-by-day. I�ve been there and done that with training camps and it�s taught me a lot about life and how to persevere and overcome adversity. It teaches you to become a strong human-being.�
What is your favorite basketball moment?
�It would be my entire senior year in college. I cannot think of one time that I did not enjoy. We had a great year. We were fourth in the nation. It was fun and I had great people around me. They are all friends to this day.�
