Newman aspires to become the first woman in the NBA and would also want to play for the Connecticut basketball team. She draws inspiration from Diana Taurasi and Breanna Stewart.

Her older brother started playing basketball at the age of three and inspired by him; she had to follow suit. Another thing that worked to her advantage is the fact that her father is a basketball coach.
