Education background (graduated or currently studying):
I graduated with a B.A. in liberal arts and a minor in dance.

What you like best about the 49ers:
I was born a 49ers fan.  I grew up wearing 49ers pajamas and rooting for Joe Montana.  After learning about the organization, I became an even bigger fan. 

Challenge that you have overcome: 
I used to be extremely shy.  This made many things difficult for me.  Dancing was my escape.  When I was onstage I felt like a completely different person. 

Guilty pleasures:
Fenton’s Creamery Black and tan sundaes!

Hobbies (outside of dance):
My favorite thing to do is to take off and just drive along the coast or through the redwoods and discover a small town or something new.  I have a huge compassion for animals so I spend a lot time volunteering at animal shelters. 

Most adventurous thing you have done:
I accidentally scaled Mt. Hoffman.  My mom was taking a course in geology and her class was meeting in Yosemite to summit the mountain.  Since I love the outdoors, my mom invited me to go with her.  We arrived a little bit late and decided to try to catch up with the rest of the group.  However, we ended up off of the trail and were wandering around for a few hours before we found ourselves completely lost and clinging to the side of the mountain… both of us sliding, screaming and holding on for dear life!  We finally managed to make it back down and ran into my mom’s class right at the end of the trail.  Other than horrible sunburns, we survived. 

Most proud of: 
I am most proud of my compassion for others.  I’m always looking for ways to make people smile. 

Dance/performance experience:
I have been dancing ever since I was a little girl.  My mom actually had to bribe me to go to my very first dance class when I was seven-years-old.  Since that day I’ve never stopped dancing.

Most memorable moment as a Gold Rush member:
I love stepping out onto the field at Candlestick Park, putting on the uniform for the very first time, cheering on the 49ers, interacting with fans and making wonderful friendships. 

Best word that describes you:
The best word that describes me is optimistic.  I always try to find the best in every situation.  I believe that you can accomplish so much just by being positive. 

I wish I could:
I wish I could see the world.  I love traveling and visiting places I’ve never been to before.  If I didn’t have to worry about time or money I would take off and experience a new city each day.

Song do you most enjoy dancing to: 
Anything Justin Timberlake.
 
My favorite movie: 
Rudy.  This is the one movie that I can watch over and over again without becoming tired of it.  The story is so inspirational and motivates me anytime I get discouraged or feel like giving up.
