TATTOOS
She has a number of tattoos on her body. Her first one, which she got while she was still a teenager, was in memory of her brother Brandon who died when he was age 22. She also has a quote from Chinese philosopher Confucius on her right arm that reads, 'Our greatest glory is in never falling but rising every time we fall'. "I have had many falls and after each one of them I have got up again. They took me to the place I am now, playing professionally and living thanks to my dream job of playing basketball."

HERITAGE
Born in Bealeton, VA, United States of America, she is eligible to play for Puerto Rico as her mother Iris was born there, in Santa Isabel. "I love playing for them. The country itself is excited for us. For your college, it's like 20,000 people [you play for]. For a country it's many more. We're very prideful of that. I walk on the street in Puerto Rico and people know me, and it's four hours from one side of the island to the other side. When I go home [to the United States of America] nobody knows me there."
