What is your favorite thing about playing at Oregon State?
My favorite thing about playing here is definitely the bond we have on this team. From day one everyone was so welcoming. We have a special chemistry that not every team has.Â
How would you describe what it's like to play for Coach Kagan, Coach Ruiz-Williams and Coach Stirrett?
All three of the coaches remind us of the amazing women we are both on and off the field. They push us to be our best as both young women as well as athletes. I wouldn't ask for a different coaching staff.Â
Does your number mean anything to you?
It doesn't mean anything to me, but I like it!
If you weren't playing soccer what would you be doing?
I would still be in school, probably back in California, working to get my degree.Â
Do you have any pre-game superstitions?
Before every game Brianna and I do our handshake in the middle of the field.
What is the last movie you saw?
The Bee Movie
Who has had the biggest influence on your soccer career?
My mom. She has been the one who has sacrificed a lot of her time for me and continuously pushed me to be the best person and player i could be. Without her unconditional support and love I wouldn't be playing at this level.Â
At what age did you know you wanted to play soccer in college? What made you realize that?
In middle school when I got my first interest from a school it made me realize I could and wanted to play at the next level.
What actress would play you in a movie about your life?
I feel like Tiffany Haddish could have a good chance of playing me in a movie one day.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I would have to go somewhere tropical like Bora Bora.
What would you sing at Karaoke night?
Love on top- BeyoncéÂ
