And that Michael Irvin would care more about his wardrobe than I would?

I was so afraid that the athletes wouldn't talk to me because I'm a woman.

I'm proud of being Hispanic.

I've always been around dudes and sports.

When I found out I got this job, I cried, of course - I'm a girly-girl - and then I called my dad, and he cried, too. On so many levels, this is a thrill for me.

I'm not going to relate to an athlete as a peer.

I've always been the only girl in those environments. It's comfortable for me - I prefer it, actually.
