Q: Who is your favorite gymnast? 

A: Nastia Liukin 

Q: What is your favorite event and why? 

A: I love beam. It used to be my least favorite growing up, I was terrified of it. But my dad built me this little makeshift beam out of carpet and wood and put it in our living room. I would eat meals on the beam, watch TV on it, play with my toys on it and everything! Constantly being on that beam helped me get over my fear, and now it's my favorite event!! It's where I feel most at home.

Q: What made U of A stand out when you were being recruited? 

A: The beautiful campus. I think the mall is one of the biggest selling points for the U of A, it just looks absolutely incredible when the sun is setting. I also loved the college town atmosphere.

Q: What is fun and special about collegiate gymnastics?

A: I love that once you start college gymnastics, it becomes more of a team sport. You get to spend every day with your best friends, working towards a common goal and supporting each other through the good and bad times. I love my team and I love that I get to experience my college career with them by my side. That's a really special thing.

Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you want to go and why?

Q: If you could be any animal what would you be and why? 

A: A narwhal, because they're the unicorns of the sea. I also can't swim, so I feel like that would just be a really great experience all around. 

Q: What are your hobbies outside of gymnastics?

A: I love to go to concerts!! I've been to so many already, but I can never get enough. I also like to listen to music. I got a record player for Christmas a couple of years back, so I have a small vinyl collection that I like to listen to when I have time. 

Q: If you weren't doing gymnastics what sport would you want to play? 

A: I'd like to do dance probably. I did ballet until I was about 12 and I loved it but I like all types of dance. I just think it's a great way to express yourself. 

Q: If you could have any superpower what would it be?

A: I'd want to fly. I'm obsessed with the sky, so being able to fly would be so much fun!
