When the Olympics and World Cups come around, that's when you see the real outpouring of support that there really is for female football.

On a global stage, I have respect in the goalkeeping world.

I had made a vow to never stay in my home state to play, I wanted to go as far East Coast as possible, more or less to get away from my family life. I ended up staying in my home state and fell in love with it. I ended up having a beautiful relationship with my family over time and it was the best decision I've ever made.

With each year that's gone by, and as I grow up and get older, I've become more mature, of course, but you have a sense of who you are, and you find confidence in that.

I've always been a fan of Justin Timberlake.

Growing up, I felt insecure about my build. I didn't feel very feminine. But as time went on, I learned to completely embrace my body.

My life is a beautiful struggle.
