She began serious soccer training with Neil Bradford at age 8, who predicted she’d make the U.S. Women’s National Team.

In 2003, 8-year-old Rose dressed as Mia Hamm for a third-grade book-sharing project, wearing Hamm’s No. 9 jersey, white shorts, and a gold medal around her neck.

Her favorite subject in school growing up was gym.

She likes to read fantasy books and was recently converted to using a Kindle and appreciates its convenience, portability, and how it helps her fall asleep.

She's a huge Xavier basketball fan.

Her nickname is 'Nutmeg Duchess'.
