In a recent interview, Chiles opened up about her intention behind her spirited role and the exhilaration it brings. Chiles acknowledges that occasionally, her teammates may misinterpret her actions. She humorously embraces the fact that her perpetual enthusiasm might occasionally get on their nerves. She acknowledges with a lighthearted spirit:

"We are going to Hype people up today. I love being the hype woman. Sometimes you know they think I get on their nerves all the time, but it is what it is,"

Despite this, Chiles remains unapologetically herself, fully embracing her role and the reactions it elicits.

Reflecting on her unique perspective, Chiles explains:

"I was able to hype everyone up and be on the other side of things. Because you know when you are in it, it is different compared to when you are actually on the outside."
