PERSONAL: Picked UC Santa Cruz because she "was looking for a mid-size school with great academics and a homey vibe. Santa Cruz was a perfect fit in these aspects and also provides me with opportunities not only to play basketball but to scuba dive and become a dive master."

Parents are Heather and Michael Zientek. Brother Joshua.

Most influential person is her coach Courtney Clements because "she inspires me to follow in her footsteps as an accomplished WNBA player and HER time activist. She inspires me to be a leader and work hard toward my goals on and off the court."

Hobbies away from the court are working out, doing yoga, painting, going to the beach, and scuba diving.
