Where were you born and where do you live now?
I was born and raised in San Diego, but my dad is a Bay Area native, so I've spent my life traveling back and forth between SoCal and NorCal. I made it a goal to live up here one day, so here I am!

What professional accomplishment are you most proud of?
Dancing for two iconic NBA teams—the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. It was a dream to become a professional dancer, and now I'm continuing to follow my dreams in the NFL!

What personal accomplishment are you most proud of?
Double majoring in Public Health Policy and Dance. It was challenging, but I'm proud to have studied two subjects I'm deeply passionate about.

Who or what inspires you?
My grandpa is my #1 inspiration—he worked incredibly hard as an immigrant without complaint. My teammates are also a huge inspiration because they are all boss babes who shine on and off the field.

What's the energy like in the Gold Rush locker room on game day?

What does it mean to be a Gold Rush Cheerleader?

Tell us about your journey of becoming a Gold Rush cheerleader.
I always knew I wanted to dance for the NFL. Coming from the NBA was amazing, but I injured my shoulder in my 3rd season. After two years of rehab and mental recovery, I was ready to audition for Gold Rush. This journey taught me patience and taking everything one day at a time—your moment comes when it's meant to.
