A fun fact about me is: I am from Spain, but I lived in Denmark for 3 years and Colorado for 2 years.
What I like most about Siena University: The people here
What I like most about Siena Basketball: The family piece, love my teammates and my coaches, and we are all a big family
What I like most about Coach Primm: He is very easy to talk to, always has something interesting to say, and I learn a lot from him.
Goal(s) for the upcoming season: Come back from my ankle surgery better than before and become an important piece for the team. Winning the championship.
My pregame routine consists of: Listening to music, being there extra early so I don’t have to rush, and doing some rehab before.
My biggest fan is: My dad
The person I look up to the most (and why): My mom. Not only is she a great mom and does everything for us, but she is also great at her job as a nurse and is doing great in her new role.
The best advice I ever received was: Do not think about your limits when thinking about your goals; reach for the highest and try as hard. If you do not reach it, you can say you tried your hardest.
If I could travel anywhere in the world, I would go to (and why): I would love to go to Italy and Greece because I have never been.
If I was stuck on a deserted island and could bring only one thing, it would be: My dog
If I could have dinner with any three people – dead or alive – they would be: Both my grandmas. My best friend that I haven’t seen in 3 years.
