As the Bellas fall in disgrace after the performance's unexpected disaster, she tries to reassure Chloe by replying her statement of a possible suspension being a bad thing. She said that she had a diarrhea for 7 years before coming to Barden, which seems to failed as Chloe is less than concerned.

In the campfire scene, she says that there's a chance she might get deported after graduation and she will make her way back to the U.S. although she's probably gonna die at the sea, and she encourage everyone to live for the night.

Pitch Perfect 3

Having Graduated from Barden University, Flo is working at a juice truck despite her hating her job. Flo and the other Bellas are thrilled when Emily, now a senior and leader of the current Barden Bellas, invites them to an event. Arriving at the reunion, they learn that Emily only invited them to see the new Bellas, not sing. The Bellas later gather at a bar, disappointed, and express how much they miss each other. Aubrey convinces them to join a USO tour, hoping her father sees, however, Emily fills in for Stacie, who is unable to fly as she is eight months pregnant.

Flo and the Bellas land at a base in Rota, Spain, greeted by liaisons soldiers Chicago and Zeke. They also meet the other three bands, including the mean-spirited female quartet Evermoist. The others use musical instruments, making the Bellas feel cheated. Most of the Bellas are later invited to a party at DJ Khaled's suite. Moments later, the party is thrown into chaos when Aubrey accidentally starts a fire. While Flo and the Bellas are wallowing in disgrace, Stacie calls with news that her daughter, Bella, has been born, invigorating them. Back on the tour, the Bellas perform to adoring crowds. Meanwhile, DJ Khaled asks Beca to open for him without the other Bellas. Beca politely declines the offer and returns to her room, and doesn't tell the group she was asked.

Flo and the rest of the Bellas, except Beca and Amy are abducted and taken aboard Fergus' yacht, as an attempt to manipulate Amy. When she and Beca learn of the kidnapping, they sneak onboard. Beca distracts Fergus by leading the Bellas in a performance of "Toxic", while Amy sets up and detonates a bomb. The Bellas escape the yacht, and Fergus is later arrested. After the Flo and the Bellas are rescued by the military, Amy reveals DJ Khaled's proposition to Flo to the others. They encourage her to take the chance, agreeing that it is time to move on with their lives. They know they will stay connected to each other as a family. At the USO's final performance, Beca opens for DJ Khaled, then brings the Flo and the Bellas onstage to sing their final performance – "Freedom! '90". Gail and John, the public announcers when the Bellas originally competed, have filmed a Bella documentary, only to be appalled when John realizes they didn't record the Bellas' final performance. Now the Bellas' lives are improving: Amy uses her new bankroll for tributes to singers named Amy; Aubrey works as a birthing coach; Flo's juice cart becomes an international brand; Chloe gets into vet school; Cynthia-Rose enlists in the USAF flight school; Emily returns to Barden and to her songwriting; Lilly reveals that she was quiet because she was possessed by Satan, the bomb snapped her out of it, and her real name is Esther, and starts a relationship with DJ Dragon Nutz; Aubrey reconnects with her father; Chloe and Chicago become an item; Beca is now Theo's boss.

Personality

Flo is a nice young woman who is cheerful most of the time, despite many remarks she made regarding her life before going to the U.S. that implies that she has gone through a rough life. It is possible that she came from a poor family and surroundings. In one scene she tries to comfort Chloe that the chance of Bellas getting suspended is no worse than her 7 years of diarrhea, yet Chloe shows a little concern and Flo subtly taking back her statements. The cheerful personality is shown throughout the film as when she said that she might be deported and her possibly extreme way to go back to the U.S. she doesn't show any sadness and hopelessness, and instead she encourage everyone to cheer up. At the World Championship she happily runs and excitedly does flips.

Appearance

Out of competitions, Flo wears a rather revealing clothing the whole film. She is mostly shown wearing very short pants and tank tops, but not limited to it since she also wear a regular shirts and blouse and also dresses.
