Q: Why did you choose to attend Virginia Tech?

Virginia Tech has always been a part of my life and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to attend VT!
Q: Favorite part about going to Virginia Tech Athletics events?

Q: Which Virginia Tech team do you follow the most and why?
IA: Honestly, I try to keep up with all the sports teams but I find myself following women’s basketball or lacrosse the most. For the last year, I have had the privilege of working with the lacrosse team as a student manager, so I definitely keep up with them the most!
Q: Favorite past or current Hokie athlete?
IA: Definitely former women’s basketball player Elizabeth Kitley.
Q: What’s your favorite Virginia Tech sports moment or game?
IA: My favorite Virginia Tech sports moment was when the women’s basketball team won the ACC tournament in Greensboro. My mom and I stayed in the same hotel as the team and even got to meet some of the players and the former head coach! It was a moment I will never forget.
