Since she has finished high school she has discovered a new hobby.  Other than basketball she has a love for cars, especially JDM cars, going for cruises with her friends and car rallies is what she spends her free time doing.  One thing she'll always love more than cars is basketball, but she is hoping to learn more about the mechanical side of automobile's.  One of the reasons she chose to come to USU Eastern is because of the small town.  Warming into a small town in a big country is a nice way to start a fresh life in a whole different place.
