Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

She earned two bachelor's degrees at the University of California, Berkeley - Data Science and Economics.

She is inspired by women’s basketball players for their handling of pressure and their efforts in growing the WNBA.

Her first non-football job was as event staff at a hotel in South Carolina, where she worked at weddings during a summer while her parents lived there.

Her first concert was Drake, which she finds funny because it doesn’t match her usual music taste at all.

The top of her travel bucket list includes Japan, where one of her good friends is moving, and she would love to explore more destinations in Asia.

An essential part of her daily routine is playing phone games like Wordle, Globle, Travle, the Mini, and Connections. She is able to label almost every country on a map.

She wishes she were better at learning languages, particularly Spanish and Mandarin, which she finds fascinating and useful.

The song "TiK ToK" by Kesha always gets her on the dance floor and was her favorite while growing up.

She grew up surrounded by cats, but now considers them her mom’s pets since they don’t seem to share the same affection for her as they do for her mom.
