Role model/hero
My little brother, Michael, who actually isn't very little at all! He is the greatest athlete that I have ever personally known and he inspires me everyday. He was drafted in the 2010 MLS draft and is playing with the Seattle Sounders. I am so proud of how hard he has worked and of all his accomplishments. I loved watching him play his entire life but now seeing him on TV gives me goose bumps.
What are you passionate about?
This is an obvious one - volleyball, of course! I am also very passionate about my family. My parents, sisters and brother mean the world to me; they are hilarious, crazy, fun and extremely close to one another. Love you guys!
What would you do if you won the million dollars?
Buy a beach house on the Jersey Shore and travel.

Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together
Shutting up. We both talk too much.
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race (other than winning one million bucks)?
Rachel is one of my best friends. I think this will be a great experience for us to do something fun and competitive and bond with each other.
Pet peeve about your teammate
She gets frustrated way too easily. She freaks out and it is hard to calm her down.
