What does being an Ironside mean to you?
It means not only being part of a great inclusive sports team where we train hard and celebrate hard, but it also means being a part of a big extended family of great people who are always there for you and someone always there to extend a helping hand or word.
What's one thing being on the team has changed for you?
On a serious note - I think being on the team, and really just playing rugby, creates better body positivity. There’s a place and a strength for everyone. It’s not just for fit jacked Insta-models or tiny fast runners. Every body is welcomed and appreciated!! On a less-than-serious note - I have really learned the term "mind over matter" really applies when chugging multiple beers in few hour’s time frame or when boat racing another team.
What is your favorite comfort food?
There are many things that could go on this list but probably fresh baked bread. Maybe add mashed potatoes with bacon and a baked chicken. But I could make a meal out of a baguette.
If you could have a superpower what would it be and why?
I'd either want the Green Lantern’s ring (think of all the rucks you could subtly break, or cheeky tricks you could pull on unsuspecting opposing scrummys with a little Green Lantern imagination) or being able to control water like in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Not only is it "cool," but we’d never have to swim on the pitch willingly again.
What other hobbies do you have besides rugby?
Cooking food and baking for other people, hiking with my boyfriend and his dog, and consuming all RuPaul’s Drag Race content in the world.
