GET TO KNOW JANEÂ LADAGA:
Why did you choose Williams College?
I wanted to attend a liberal arts school somewhere on the East Coast and experience the four seasons. I chose Williams because of the people, mainly the tennis coaches and team. The people I met during the recruitment process were really cool and welcoming. I felt like everyone was genuinely interested in me, and we had a goofy time. They also raved about how the professors and the Williamstown community in general were friendly and supportive. I can attest to this after being here for almost four years, and I am really glad I chose Williams.
Â
What do you like about Williams women's tennis?
I really like how close we are. The dynamics on our team are great, and I enjoy spending time with them whether it is on or off court. I love the meals together, the goofy moments in the van and the academic support we give each other.
Â
What is your pre-match routine?
I usually journal before the match. Journal my intentions for the match, write out some nerves and give myself some motivation for the match. If I am still nervous and need more motivation, I will listen to music. Calming music if I am too fired up and hype music if I need more motivation and fire.
Â
If you could have one of your teammates' tennis strokes (forehand, backhand, etc.), whose would you take and why?
Ellie's forehand. I would love to have a killer forehand and hit tons of down-the-line winners on people.
Â
Favorite class taken at Williams?
English 138 with Professor Rhie, titled "What is a Self?" We talked about the self in the context of literature, philosophy and psychology.
Â
What other things do you do on campus?
I am on the board committee of a dance club called ADT (Asian Dance Troupe), where we put on small and fun events throughout the year and a performance at the end of the semester. We do a lot of K-pop covers, Chinese traditional and desi medley dances in our performances. Finally, I work at the Research Services desk at Sawyer Library, helping students with their research needs.
Â
If you could play another sport at Williams, what would it be and why?
It would be volleyball. I just love playing volleyball and have fun memories playing it with friends. It is also more of a team sport than tennis, so working together to win would be fun and exciting. Even though I do not have the height for it, I feel like I could be a good libero if anything.
Â
Which teammate will have the most interesting job in 10 years?
Out of all of us, I do not know what job Ayanna would get into because she does a lot of different things at Williams, and she is not afraid of being involved or trying new things. I can see her going into consulting, starting a business or even becoming an entrepreneur and doing her own thing. She is a wildcard to me.
Â
What is a food you could eat every day and never tire of?
Salmon. I enjoy salmon whether it is cooked or raw.
Â
Favorite place you have visited or traveled to?
I have two. The first is Japan and second is Key West, Florida.
Â
If you could sit down for lunch with anyone in the world, who would it be?
Hwasa. She is a South Korean singer-songwriter, and I would love to meet her.
