| Who was your childhood idol? |
My mother - She is a strong single mother. The four most important things she taught me were always put God first, always stand up for yourself, there is always tomorrow and it is OK to be wrong. |

Amy Juang, Alison Fischer and Vickie Lucas because they always give their all and share their football knowledge. |

Learning to swim as an adult in order to complete my first Triathalon. |
| Who is your favorite female sports idol? |
Gayle Devers and Jackie Joyner-Kersee. They were both talented, hard working runners that represented female atheletes in a positive light. |
| How did you get into women's tackle football? |
I am an athelete that enjoys new challenges and after attending every home game for the past two years, I had to join! I respect all of the women for what they do on and off the field and I am proud to be part of this team. |
