Q: When did you start playing football and what made you join?
A: I started playing in May of 2016 with the RGV Vixens after my friend Liz “Sunshine” asked me to check out the team. By the end of it, I loved it! I love the adrenaline you get from playing.
Q: What has been the most exciting moment of the season for you?
A: The most exciting moment was winning our second playoff game. That emotion is surreal.
Q: In your opinion, what has made the Vixens so successful this season?
A: This has been a great season thanks to teamwork, dedication, lots of heart, and a great coaching staff and management.
Q: Do you have any pregame rituals that you must do before a game?
A: My pre-game ritual includes loud pump-up type music and dancing.
Q: Would you rather be able to fly or be able to read minds?
A: I would rather read minds because it would be great to know a person’s honest thoughts.
Q: Would you rather watch “Harry Potter,” “Game of Thrones” or “The Walking Dead?”
A: I would rather watch Harry Potter because I’ve never seen the other two.
Q: What’s the most ridiculous thing you have bought and regret doing so?
A: The most ridiculous thing I’ve purchased is a talking panda money bank. I regret it because it broke after about three months.
Q: If you were a ghost and could possess people, what would you make them do?
A: If I was a ghost I would make people dance and break out in song just to mix up their day.
