Must love dogs: An organization that I’ve been involved in is Canine Companions for Independence, a nonprofit that helps people with disabilities by providing them with highly trained assistant dogs.
Have passport, will travel: This summer, I went to visit my family in Miesbach, Germany, and had the most amazing time. I’ve traveled to Milan and Madrid with the Celtics, and I plan to visit Sydney or Paris this summer. Who knows? I may visit both.
Paging Freddy Krueger: With the Celtics’ schedule, I don’t get a lot of downtime during the season, but when I do I enjoy watching scary movies.
Hidden skill: Since I was both a gymnast and a cheerleader, I’m still able to do some tumbling. I also never lost the ability to hold a handstand for a lengthy amount of time.
Celebrity crush: Chris Hemsworth. Channing Tatum comes in a close second. That man can dance.
Physical trait that drives her crazy (in a good way): I love a man with good hair. The longer, the better.
Ideal first date: To me, it’s about finding out about their character and how much depth they have. Sporting events are always fun and low-key, too.
Worst trait: Maybe more of a weird one: I talk to myself quite a bit. I think it stems from broadcasting and talking out loud when rehearsing lines and scripts, but I get called out on occasion.
