Who is the most inspirational person in your life?
My parents.
If you could have lunch with anyone in the world (living or deceased), who would it be? Why? Lorena Ochoa. She is my favorite player and she personifies what a good person is.
What is your most valued treasure? Why? My family. They mean the world to me and they have taught me all I know. They have done everything for me.
Who is your favorite musical artist/band? El Canto del Loco.
What are three things you never leave the house without? My cell phone, wallet and my necklace.
What has been some of your toughest challenges at ASU? When I got here, I didn't know any English. It was really tough to not be able to communicate with anyone.
What is your favorite food/local restaurant? A Spanish restaurant called Sol y Sombra. It is a tapas bar in Scottsdale.
Do you have any pre-game rituals or superstitions? I always mark the ball I'm gonna play with the same way, and I use an old Spanish coin that my mom gave me to mark the ball on the greens.
What do you like to do in your free time? I am always with my boyfriend and go to the movies. I love going out in Spain.
What is your most memorable golfing moment? Last summer, I won the European Team Championship.
What do you like most about ASU? Weather, golf, facilities and the people I've met here – the opportunity I've been given to play golf and study at the same time.
