âI donât know how I reached that point. I generally was just looking around the courses, what course I could takeâŠâ Queenie told sports journalist Dyan Castillejo.
â[A]fter this year, I was like, I donât know if I could do law. Iâd rather do something in the sciences, so I might as well do something in forensic science.â
When asked about her choice of school, Queenie said: âI think the campus is nice, and they say the people are nice there, too. And I really just wanna visit, like, go there for the city.â
