Why did you choose the University of Georgia?
I'm a third generation Bulldog. I won't say I didn't have a choice but "sic em" has been a part of my vocabulary from a young age.
What does "Commit To The G" mean to you?
It means I represent Georgia in every aspect… school, athletics, socially, and I'm proud to do so.
Who has had the most influence on your athletic career? Why?
My parents. They have always encouraged me to do my best and allowed to have such great opportunities.
Do you have a nickname on the team?
Everyone calls me Ham. It's my last name so I'm not sure it qualifies as a nickname.
What is your ride out song and why?
Magic by B.O.B. It's just super upbeat and about self confidence.
What is your favorite place on campus?
North campus! Luckily for me, this is where all my classes are.
What's your favorite restaurant in Athens?
Probably any Mexican restaurant. I love chips and they're free!
What is your favorite TV show/movie?
My favorite movie is definitely Gladiator. My favorite show is Dexter.
If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be?
I would travel to Australia or Europe. Or anywhere! I think all cultures are unique so it would be exciting to experience any of them.
If you were stranded on a desert island what three things would you bring?
A book, a boat, and bacon.
What's something people would be surprised to know about you?
I used to play the oboe.
Who or what influenced the start of your riding career?
I think I just hit the little girl horse stage and my parents fortunately let me get a horse!
