As an unstoppable duo, they planned countless events and shared plenty of laughs. Despite never being “official” roommates, they practically lived together during Lynsey’s graduate school years, creating lifelong memories.

When MJ is not on the volleyball court, she can be found studying for her next exam as she finishes her master’s degree, watching a TV show with friends, or writing in a local coffee shop. With a heart of gold, she’s not just Mary’s cousin but her unofficial little sister.
