PERSONAL: Calls her parents Tom and Amy Ahrendt the most influential people in her life because " I wouldn't be the person I am today without my parents. My mom's intense work ethic got her where she is today and lives life gracefully. If I grow up to be half the woman my mom is, then I would feel extremely accomplished. My dad loves unconditionally and is one of the best listeners I know." Has a brother: Donovan.
She picked UCSC because "it felt like home the minute I stepped onto campus. I really connected with my coaches and teammates and I knew that I could receive not only a great athletic experience but an academic one as well."
