How did you get started working in sports?: I've been an athlete my whole life and thought, hmm..why not work in what you know?!
Best moment in sports?: Even though there are numerous professional sports moments that I could choose, mine is a little more personal...I played softball in high school and my junior year we made it to State. I pitched a 9 inning game that we ended up winning with a line drive down the 3rd base line sending in a runner from 3rd to win! It was one of the best games I've been a part of in my life. And to be able to stay I'm a State Champ is pretty darn cool :-)
Favorite part about working in baseball?: The environment. You can't get much better than warm weather, loyal fans, good food, a cold drink and a GREAT game.
What advice do you have for those people who are interesting in working in sports?: I'll let you know how I feel after my first 8 game home stand...
One thing people don't know about one of your co-workers at the Boise Hawks?: Nothing juicy to report yet, but stay tuned!
If you didn't work in sports or with the Boise Hawks what would you do?: I think I would be a teacher of some sort, working with little kids is so entertaining. If not that, I would love to be a Disney princess-preferably Ariel.
What are things you enjoy doing when you are not working?: Playing volleyball, listening to music (and rocking out, of course), keeping up with my many TV obsessions and spending time with friends and family.
What are three things in life that you can't live without?: Ranch, Google and Sticky notes (The real three = music, family and friends)
If you could "un-invent" one thing, what would it be? "2nd" movies. For example, Sandlot 2, Grease 2, Dumb and Dumberer...please, stick with the originals.
Other fun facts about you: I played 4 years of collegiate volleyball at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. Played for a USA International Women's Volleyball team in Perth, Scotland. I am an avid movie quoter-if you don't understand what I'm saying, it's probably a quote.
