The MS-INBRE Research scholar project is a 10-week summer internship program held at the University of Southern Mississippi. Scholars work with a mentor of their choice during the 20-week period and agree to present a project poster at the state-wide Mississippi Academy of Sciences meeting that is held annually in February.

The 5-10, guard/forward was instrumental in helping the Lady Bleu Devil achieve a 13-12 overall record, and 9-5 GCAC record, which put the team in three way tie for third place.

In her first year, she averaged 19.2 minutes per game and shot 71% (20/28) from the free-throw line while accumulating a total of 122 rebounds (2nd on the team).
