– From Connecticut in Athens and from WNBA to the National Women’s Greece. Was it difficult to say ‘yes’ to the proposal to compete in the team?
“Honestly, no! I always wanted to play in a country’s national team if I couldn’t fight with the US jersey, and when Coach Prekas gave me the idea last year, I told him “perfect!” He is a man I respect, appreciate and love for everything she is! So we discussed the prospect of competing with the national team and I thought the perfect time and the opportunity to do. ”
– As far as we understand, the presence of coach Preka on the bench played a catalytic role.
“Certainly! The coach influenced me 100 percent in my decision. I know him, I know what he represents and how hard he works for the victory, something he also distinguishes me as an athlete. ”
– What can fans from Robin Park in the field expect? What will it give to the national team?
“The best I can! I will try to give the girls of the team my best. My energy, as their teammate, and whatever I can, in any way I can. ”
– In a few days you will make your first appearance with the Greek jersey. What are the ambitions you have with the team?

– You have fought from WNBA to Italy, Spain, Turkey, Hungary, Poland, Egypt and Angola. What has this basketball journey teach you?
“Each country is different, as is different in the style of the game it plays. I think the European basketball where I had my latest experience in the Turkish Championship is completely different from the rest. The differences that exist from country to country are the ones I always take with me. ”
– In an interview in the US earlier in the US you were asked about the influence it had on your career and your life one of your most beloved faces. Your grandmother. What do you think would tell you today when you have made the decision to compete with National Greece?
“It would probably be ecstatic! Maybe it would have been “crazy” with the fact that I am here today. It would certainly be very happy because the prayers he made for me would have been heard. ”
– Does the tattoo you have on your body with her face has a special symbolism?
“Yes! I was watching my grandmother how she managed to achieve some things and how hard she was working since I was a kid until she passed away. I keep this picture of her forever! I did the tattoos I have on my leg on my leg to be inspired by her presence. Every time I don’t feel good or my psychology is not good, I look at her image. It inspires me and motivates me to continue moving forward and always seeing ahead! “
