FAVORITES SPOTLIGHT

My favorite sports figure is Steph Curry

 My favorite pregame meal is Chicken Parm and my favorite post game meal is pizza with pepperoni and pineapple

My favorite pregame music/song is slow songs to calm me down like Frank ocean, Taylor swift, Jessie Reyes, Zach Bryan, etc

My favorite hobbies outside of Roller Sports are playing Ice Hockey, going to the beach/pool and laying out reading, and watching TV

The one thing I can’t live without is probably my family

Off the ice, I’ve gotten “bubbly” to describe my personality a lot. On the ice I like to play free and kind of use my hockey iq to be successful on the ice/rink
