What made you become a wrestler? A FRIEND OF MINE ASKED IF ID BE INTERESTED IN TRAINING, I SAID SURE. SO HE TRAINED ME AND IVE BEEN IN THE BIZ NOW FOR 2 YEARS.

What do you like about wrestling? / What do you not like about wrestling? I LOVE MEETING NEW PEOPLE. THE ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT. I LEAST LIKE THE FANS THAT WRITE ME THAT GET ALL PSYCHO ABOUT IT, THEY ASK ME PERSONAL QUESTIONS. AND TRY TO LEARN JUST FAR TOO MUCH ABOUT ME.

Did you ever get to use your wrestling skills in private life? JUST FOR FUN, ME AND MY SISTERS OR SOME FRIENDS OF MINE WHEN WERE JUST MESSIN AROUND.

Do you have any funny backstage stories you like to share? ONE WAS FROM WHEN I FIRST BROKE INTO THE BIZ, COMING FROM MINNEAPOLIS MN TO BUFFALO NY. I PACKED MY BAG INTO MY CAR, AND WHEN WE GOT ABOUT HALF WAY THERE, ME AND MY FAMILY STOPPED AT A REST STOP. AND I NOTICED MY BAG WAS MISSING. SO WHEN I GOT TO NY I HAD TO BUY ALL NEW CLOTHES. ONE WK LATER IN MN MY NEIGHBOR FOUND MY BAG STILL IN MY DRIVE WAY. UNTOUCHED. LOL.

What do you feel is your biggest asset? JUST THE FACT THAT IM DOING WHAT I LOVE IS THE BEST PART.
What was it like entering a arena with thousands of fans shouting and looking at you? ITS FRIGHTENING AT FIRST BUT ITS A BLAST BEING OUT THERE.

Did you make any close friends while wrestling? O YEA LOADS OF GOOD FRIENDS, ONE OF THEM ASKED TO BE THE GODFATHER TO MY DAUGHTER, JUST CUS HE LOVES HER SO MUCH.

What are your thoughs on Backyard Wrestling? IF THOSE GUYS/GIRLS KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING WITHOUT BREAKING THEIR NECKS, AND CONSIDERED BEING TRAINED. DEPENDS. BUT ITS BEST THEY LEAVE IT UP TO THE PROS.

Do you have much time to spend with your family? LOADS OF TIME, THO I HIT THE ROAD ON MOST WEEKENDS. THERES TIME FOR FAMILY TOO.

Was there anyone that you credit for inspiring you to do what you do now? PROBABLY MY FRIEND TRAVIS, THE GUY WHO TRAINED ME. HES A GREAT FRIEND, GREAT GUY TO LEARN THINGS FROM.
What did your friends and family think when you informed them of your desire to become a pro wrestler? THEY WERE LIKE "YOURE WAY TOO SMALL" "YOURE A GIRL" "YOURE GONNA BE WRESTLING PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE 2 MORE FEET TALLER THAN YOU". IM LIKE "ILL BE FINE". ITS PRETTY MUCH WHAT ANY WRESTLERS FRIENDS OR FAMILY WOULD SAY.

What kind of workout do you do? And how many hours per week on average do you spend working out? RIGHT NOW I WORK OUT ATLEAST AN HR TO TWO HRS A DAY. LOADS OF CARDIO. IM NOT ON A DIET, BUT I CUT DOWN ON WHAT I TAKE IN.

If there was one thing future fans dont know about you what would it be? JUST THAT ID LOVE TO MEET AS MANY YOUNG AND OLD FANS AS I CAN IN MY LIFE. IF I COULD SPEND ANY TIME INT HE WORLD WITH THEM TO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THEM ID LOVE TO KNOW.

Is there anything else you would like to say to all your future fans out there? IF YOU HAVE A DREAM TO BECOME ANYTHING YOU WANT, LIVE IT. DONT GIVE UP.
