"I just love being able to compete, especially having four letters (UCLA) across my back, my chest, my shoulder, my wrist. Whatever it is, it’s definitely a huge thing, but at the end of the day, it’s my personality. I like having fun. I like being bubbly. I like telling people jokes for no reason, whether they’re funny or not funny. That’s kind of who I am. "
