What inspired you to start playing rugby?

I tried it one day with some friends and I loved the physicality of it. It's such a challenging and rewarding sport.

How do you balance your rugby career with your personal life?

It can be difficult at times, but I have a great support system in my friends and family. They understand how important rugby is to me, but also encourage me to pursue my other passions outside of the sport.
