Q: Do you have a pre-meet walkout song or favorite musician?
A: The team usually has a speaker blasting the latest Cardi B song. As a minority country music lover, I pop in headphones and listen to my most recent country hits playlist. I also sprinkle in a few Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran songs.
Q: If someone wanted to give you a BIG gift certificate, where would you want to use it?
A: An airline. I would travel around the world, stopping in New York to see my family; Marco Island, Florida for my favorite grouper sandwich and a slice of key lime pie; Italy for a quick pizza and gelato break; Hawaii to learn to surf; and Australia for a picture with a koala.
Q: Best advice you have received?
A: Live life to the fullest and without regrets. My parents have always pushed me to pursue all my passions and to involve myself in everything and anything. Growing up, people constantly urged me to quit soccer to make time for gymnastics or vice-versa, but my parents encouraged me to stick with the activities I loved. I am still doing gymnastics, playing soccer, and loving both.
Q: Name someone (living) you would want to switch places with for a day and why?
A: Conan O'Brien. I religiously watch The Conan O'Brien Show and have always been envious of Conan's ability to command the room and deliver jokes.
Q: Favorite foods?
A: Ice cream and hamburgers.
Q: Favorite movie?
A: The Harry Potter series.
Q: Favorite book?
A: The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.
Q: Best skill on the balance beam?

Q: Favorite class?
A: lGSBGen 360, Sports Business Management.
Q: Favorite place on campus?
A: The pool.
Q: Favorite Stanford memory?
A: My junior year, I rushed the football field when the Card defeated Washington. Hopping over the gate, running onto the field, and joining the post-game celebration was an exhilarating moment that I will never forget.
