The Daily Iowan: What was your favorite subject or class you took in high school?

Dominique Phills: My favorite class I took was criminal justice because there were a lot of fun activities like going outside, digging to find clues, just to get a feel of what it’s like to really work in the field.

What are some of your interests outside of volleyball?

I like knitting, and I like going on walks. I do that a lot since I’ve been here.

If  you could meet any famous athlete, who would it be and why?

I would meet Serena Williams. She changed the way people look at women’s sports historically, so I think talking to her would be a good motivational conversation for myself.

What is one thing you love about Iowa?

I love the campus. It’s so beautiful. They do a really good job of fertilizing plants and flowers, so it’s really beautiful on campus right now in the fall.  

What’s been your best memory with volleyball?

I would say making it to the semifinals in high school for playoffs because that’s the farthest that I’ve ever made it with a high school team. I played for two different schools, and that was a whole different experience because at my previous school I never got to do that.

Who is a big motivator or inspiration in your life?

I would say my mom because she showed me how to really fight for my goals and what I want to do in my life.

If you could have any superpower, what would you pick and why?

I think I would be invisible, so I could see what’s going on when I’m not there.

What’s your favorite movie?

I like “Legally Blonde.” That’s one of my favorites.
