Did/Does anyone in your family play sports: Everyone in my family participates in sports, however, neither my mum or dad played tennis. My mother was a really good swimmer and my dad didn't choose a specific sport. My brother did swimming, tennis, football and surfing. 
Favorite sports memory: I was playing with my club in a tournament vs another club which had better players, it was really tough and we ended up winning the qualifying match. We were playing in their club and there were lots of people cheering for the other team, it was really nice winning. 
Interests other than Tennis/sports: I enjoy going out with my friends whenever I can, traveling and visiting new places. I enjoy surfing, like my older brother. We spend our summers at the beach and we've learned to surf. It is something I really enjoy!
Who most influenced your Tennis career: In reality, no one really influenced me to play tennis. I really liked playing sports, football, tennis, and when I was 7 or 8 I decided I really wanted to play tennis more seriously and that is when I started practicing more and more. 
Why did you choose Chicago State: First of all, Chicago is a city that, from my point of view, is one of the nicest cities in the world, and what I really wanted was being in a city, so it really called my attention.
