GET TO KNOW ELLIEÂ STARK:
Why did you choose Williams College?
I chose Williams College because of its close-knit community, academic opportunities for research and internships, its distinctive tutorial program and the ability to compete at a high level in tennis, while maintaining a strong academic focus.
Could you describe a moment when you felt the most Eph pride?
During the team huddle when we share positive messages and words of encouragement to lift each other up before the match begins.
What is your pre-match routine?
The day before a match, I focus on staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water, preparing my tennis bag with essentials like snacks, grips, electrolytes and a jump rope and ensuring I get a good night's sleep by going to bed early. The next morning I join the team for a dynamic warm-up, band exercises and a solid 30 minutes of hitting. As I get closer to my on-court time, I like to take out my jump rope, do sprints in the parking lot and practice shadow swings, so I am fully warmed up and mentally ready to start the match.
If you could have one of your teammates' tennis strokes (forehand, backhand, etc.), whose would you take and why?
Yuu Ishikawa's volleys. She is good at recognizing when to poach, has amazing touch and movement and is a wall at the net.
What is your intended major(s)?
Debating between English, Political Science and Psychology.
Could you describe your dream job?
Doing something that is interactive and where I get to help people (teacher, lawyer, writer, etc.).
If you could play another sport at Williams, what would it be and why?
Maybe basketball. I played all of middle school and two years in high school.
What is your favorite team tradition or activity?
I enjoyed Secret Snowflake.
Which teammate will have the most interesting job in 10 years and why?
Jane Ladaga because I think that studying psychology offers a broad spectrum of career possibilities.
What is a food you could eat every day and never tire of?
Cider Donuts from Bartlett's.

Italy.
