If you could trade places with anyone for a day - who would it be and why?
Dwayne Johnson- he's "the rock" and who wouldn't want to be him. Secondly, he's more than an actor. He has had a significant influence on a lot of people because of where he started and how he never gave up, no matter what.
Name three people (dead/alive) that you would have dinner with?
My uncle because I was never able to meet him along with My Mom and Grandpa because they would get to see him again and because they had the biggest influence on my life and I wouldn't be where I am today without them.
Any superstitions before competing?
Definitely rest before a major competition, and I want to be sweating before I throw to assure I'm ready to compete.
What is your major and why?
Criminal Justice, because ever since I was little, I've always had the urge to protect people, I want to be the person that is there for people that aren't able to protect themselves.
Something the average person doesn't know about you...
I can do the splits, and I've lost over 160 pounds.
