Name: Katelynn Kubo
Hometown: Hakalau, Hawaii
Major: Nutrition (Psychology minor)
Most Memorable Moment at La Salle (Your Sport): Playing in front of my family for the first time as a college athlete and scoring the game-winner against Fresno Pacific with less than half a minute on the clock, capturing La Salle's first California team win in history.
Most Memorable Moment at La Salle (Not Sports Related): Being the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Secretary. Also being in Philly when the Eagles won the Super Bowl and attending the parade.
Who Would You Consider Your Role Model? My father because he is the hardest worker and most supportive person I know. He always expected me to just try MY BEST. For me that meant that I'd be giving my 110%, so it was a win-win for him. 
Favorite Song: Hall of Fame by The Script
Favorite Professional Sports Team: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES and PHILADELPHIA 76ERS!!!
Favorite Food: Ice cream
Hobbies: Gardening, going to the beach, and hanging with family and friends.
Plans Following Graduation: Attend graduate school to study Nutrition Sciences and complete a dietetic internship.
Message to Future Explorers: Always try to look at the glass half full. No matter how tough a situation is, there is always a positive and something to be learned. 
Postscript: I would like to thank my parents and siblings for the endless support and my teammates for being my home away from home.
