Chiles has two sisters, one is a cosmetologist and the other is an event planner.
She is incredibly close with both of her siblings and the three of them have plans with one another that go far into the future.
“The relationships I have with (my sisters) are unbelievable,” Chiles said. “Having that bond is something I’ve always wanted since I was little.”
Born in the Pacific Northwest, Chiles joined the U.S. national team at just 12 years old.
