If you could play any position, which one would you choose? |
Defensive end; It would put me closer to either getting the ball or the quarterback. |
What is your favorite Diva memory? |
The first game we played against the Philadelphia Liberty Belles, because that was the beginning of everything, and I knew at that moment that the Divas were going to be something special. |
If you could have a conversation with anyone dead or alive, who would it be? |
Harriet Tubman- because of what she accomplished with what she was working with, is absolutely amazing to be me, and will always be a source of inspiration for me. I figure if she can do that, there isn’t too much I can’t do!!! |
Who is your biggest supporter? |
Besides my mom, dad, and brother it would be a toss up between my friends Eric McWilliams and Mitch Ryan |
What was your biggest adjustment to playing women's football? |
Believe it or not, tackling, knowing that I could possibly hurt someone. |
