Why Auburn?
I genuinely had a good connection with the coaching staff. I’m excited for what they’ve got for us this season. The campus, the vibes, the energy, I really loved it. It felt like home.

Three emojis that describe you?
First the smile emoji, because I’m always smiling. Next, the handy(woman) with the tools, I always want to get better at my game and grow. And then maybe the kissy face. It’s cute, I like it.

Favorite song/artist?
I don’t have a favorite song, but my favorite artist is Aubrey Drake Graham. Drizzy Drake, for sure.

And-one or clutch 3?
Probably the and-one. It’s just something about that. I can’t explain it. It’s a good feeling.

Favorite Nike hoops sneaker?
I love Sabrinas. Sabrinas have my heart. Those are my favorite. They’re the only ones I can not break in, just put them on and go play.
