Where were you born and where do you live now?
I was born and raised in Los Angeles and currently live there now. I'm one of the cheerleaders who commutes to and from rehearsals and games during the season. The cool part about living in Southern California is that there's a group of us who live there, so I'm never alone when I'm traveling.

What personal accomplishment are you most proud of?
I created a clothing brand called Auwesome to promote autism awareness and acceptance for people who are neurodivergent.

Tell us more about your job.
I'm a Program Manager at a health plan. I ensure the health plan successfully completes the national accreditation process annually. I'm responsible for gathering and reviewing over 300 documents from different departments within the organization to ensure the health plan is in compliance and maintains its national accreditation status.

What's something our fans would be surprised to learn about you?
I'm hard of hearing. I can only hear out of my left ear, which has about 65% of its hearing. Though I may miss things that go on around me, it hasn't stopped me from doing what I love—dance! American Sign Language (ASL) is my second language, so I can communicate with other deaf or hard of hearing people. Also, being hard of hearing has its superpower… I can read lips and communicate with other people via ASL across the room.

What's your favorite family tradition?
Going to Disneyland during the holiday season. We get there early to make sure we get on all the rides and experience all of the parades and light shows. This day always brings out my inner child.

What is your favorite memory at Levi's Stadium?
Walking out onto the field as a rookie to perform for the first time. I remember wearing the red vest and skirt uniform with the cowgirl boots—it was such a surreal and emotional feeling as we lined up on the field to get ready to perform our pregame routine. I remember smiling so big and tearing up during the national anthem. I was just so proud of myself and very excited to cheer on the 49ers players with the fans!

What's your favorite part of Game Day?
Doing the circle-up with my teammates and coaches before we walk out of the locker room. We come together in a tight circle and our directors give us the best pregame pump-up speeches. This is my 7th season, and I still get emotional every time!

What's the energy like in the Gold Rush locker room on game day?
LIT!!! I'm the unofficial locker room DJ, so I try to keep the vibes and energy high by playing all the pregame turn-up songs. It takes me forever to get ready because I'm always getting caught up singing or dancing to the songs.

Who is your biggest cheerleader?
My mom! She's the reason why I started dancing. She's been my cheerleader/dance mom since I was 3! She's always there to help me, even when I don't ask for help. You can't miss her on game days—she has the BIGGEST cutout of my face and a full-sized blanket with my uniform picture on it. Love you, Mom!!!

Tell us about your journey of becoming a Gold Rush cheerleader.
I was very nervous to audition for Gold Rush! I was contemplating auditioning for a while and ended up buying my flight from Los Angeles to the audition at the very last minute. Once I got there, I loved every minute of the audition process. I met so many people and ended up falling in love with the organization. During finals week, I lucked out when the prep class was right downstairs at the hotel I was staying at! When I found out I made the team, I had to do a double take when I saw my name and number because it's such a surreal feeling knowing that you're going to be a part of something greater than yourself.

Tell us about your favorite community appearance that you've attended as a Gold Rush Cheerleader.
When we went to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas back in January of 2024, a few of the Gold Rush Cheerleaders visited various children's hospitals. Each child that we saw was in the hospital for different reasons, but the energy and love that they showed us when we walked into their rooms was SO powerful. One of the kids even played his guitar and sang for us, while another little girl showed us all of her artwork that she had done! It was a very wholesome experience, and I was very grateful to have helped brighten some of those children's days just by simply talking with them or interacting in one of their favorite activities.
