What is your favorite thing about playing soccer at Oregon State?
My favorite things about playing soccer at OSU is having such an amazing team to play with that connects so well on and off the field.
How would you describe what it's like to play for Coach Kagan, Coach Ruiz-Williams and Coach Stirrett?
It's really amazing to play for these coaches because they constantly push us to be our best. They give us a very high level training environment that makes us better each practice.
Does your number mean anything to you? If so, what does it mean?
It's super incredible that I was able to get No. 3 because both my sisters and I have always had this number. It means so much to me because I always wanted to be like them when I grow up.
If you weren't playing soccer what would you be doing?
If I wasn't playing soccer I would probably be trying to get a full-time job so I could help support my family.
Do you have any pregame superstitions?
I don't, but after we have a team break before each game, Skylar Herrera and I always do our handshake. That's the closest thing I have.
Which of your teammates do you think is the funniest? Why?
I think Bridgette Skiba is the funniest because she's always up and dancing. She is getting everyone hype and is constantly making everyone around her smile and laugh.
If you could meet one soccer player who would it be and why?
If I could meet any player it would be Megan Rapinoe. She is a legend, and I love how she carry's herself on and off the field.
What was the last movie you saw?
Otherhood
Who has had the biggest influence on your soccer career?
My dad has had the biggest influence on my soccer career because he's been the one to get me top training and is always motivating me. He believes in me more than anyone.
At what age did you know you wanted to play soccer in college? What made you realize that?
When I was around seven I knew I wanted to play college soccer. I was just scoring goals like crazy every game, and I made a U10 club team at the age of seven. I realized at that moment I could go far.
What actress would play you in a movie about your life?
I personally have no idea who would play me. If you ask my teammates it would be Emma Stone or Scarlett Johansson.
Oregon State is back in action tomorrow against Rice at 5 p.m. PT in Houston, Texas. The Beavers return home next Thursday, Sept. 19 to host Idaho in the final nonconference game of the regular season.
