What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about working with the special needs community. I believe that these individuals have so much to give, and they have the biggest hearts. I love being there for them through all the obstacles and milestones in their lives. I worked with special needs adults for 5 years, and it was truly something I looked forward to doing every day.
Tell us more about your job.
As a medical scribe, I am assigned to one doctor and am present for every appointment my doctor has. I get to shadow her all day and document all patient encounters. I love this job because I can learn and experience so much in the medical field, and it has prepared me for success in my future studies. Additionally, it is rewarding to know that I am making a difference in my patients' lives and there for them throughout their cancer journey.
Do you have any pets? Tell us about your favorite furry friends…
I have a Shih-tzu poodle named Kota. She is super small but has a huge personality. She's also really smart. My favorite trick that we have taught her is how to pray before she eats! We're also currently trying to teach her some commands in Arabic.
Who or what inspires you?
My teammates never fail to inspire me. Everyone on the team does so many great things outside of Gold Rush to build their dream lives. They always inspire me to chase my dreams no matter what obstacles come my way and to never settle for less than what I set out for. They also always come to my rescue whenever I need a pep talk.
What's something our fans would be surprised to learn about you?
I was a competitive gymnast for 11 years and competed through level 10. I actually only danced for 2 years before I made the team.
What does it mean to be a 49ers Faithful?
To me, being a 49ers faithful means supporting our team no matter what. Even in the toughest of seasons, always believe in our players and our organization. I believe that it also means trusting our players and coaching staff and knowing that they are making the best decisions for our team. Whether we are winning every game or not, Faithful fans will always support and root for our team.
What's your pregame pump-up song?
Bang Bang Niner Gang never fails.
How has being a part of Gold Rush affected your life?
Being a Gold Rush cheerleader has affected my life in so many positive ways. I have such a strong support system behind me and so many inspirational men and women who push me to be my best self. With my teammates by my side, I feel completely unstoppable. The bond I have formed with my teammates is irreplaceable, and they have become family to me. I believe I will be 90 years old, sitting next to them in a rocking chair, talking about the good old days! Being a part of this team is such an honor and an opportunity that I will forever cherish.
Who is a woman in sports that inspires you?
Simone Biles! Simone has faced many trials in her life and used them to become who she is today. She is now the first woman or man to win 8 national all-around titles and she executes skills that no one else can do. Her work ethic, determination and resilience is such an inspiration and I am stoked that she is making a comeback this year.
