How do you spend your time outside of Gold Rush?
Outside of Gold Rush I love to be outdoors weather its hiking, hanging out with friends or playing with my dogs. I love to keep myself active so if I'm not working or dancing I'm most likely traveling or staying active.
Tell us more about your job.
As a Recreation Coordinator II for the City I have many roles and responsibilities. I currently run a program called the Teen Outdoor Experience where I am able to take teenagers from low income families all over California to experience nature for the first time in their lives. Patterson is an extremely small town and a lot of youth do not have the resources to experience much outside of it. It's my job to educate them on the outdoors and put what we have learned to real life scenarios.

*I have 3 American XL Pitbulls. Their names are Cayenne, Chaos, and Luna. Fun Fact: They are super big but all think they are small lap dogs.
Who or what inspires you?
My parents inspire me for so many reasons. First, they are extremely hard working and I have never met anyone who works harder. They both work full time jobs and outside of their jobs we own two small business. My father Jose builds furniture and my mother Lisa makes everything from wreaths to graduation leis, to garlands. Second, they are my biggest cheerleaders, you can see them at the games with blankets and big heads of me and they cheer on all four of their kids with everything in them.
What does it mean to be a 49ers Faithful?
Being a part of the 49ers faithful is so special. It is so much more than a football team and to me it's a family. There are so many individuals coming together from the community to support one another. It's special to see all different ethnicities and personalities support the 49ers as one.
What's your pregame pump up song?

What do you like most about being a member of the Gold Rush?
My favorite thing about being a member of the Gold Rush is that the team truly is a family. We support each other inside and outside of Gold Rush and continue to help and push each other. We are able to bond over our love for dance and cherish these memories together forever. We are all so grateful for our opportunity to be a part of this organization and it shows on and off the field.
Who is YOUR biggest cheerleader?
My biggest Cheerleader is my Mother Lisa. No matter what happens she is always in my corner cheering me on. She is such a strong woman and has taught me so many lessons along the way and continues to show up for me whenever I need her. I cannot be more grateful for her and her support throughout the years.
Tell us about your favorite community appearance that you've attended as a Gold Rush Cheerleader.
My favorite community appearance that I have attended as a Gold Rush Cheerleader was one I did Recently in my hometown Patterson. I was able to attend a cheer camp with a fellow Gold Rush Cheerleader and get to know these young cheerleaders, dance with them, and teach them all about Gold Rush. It was extremely special to me to show these young girls that I have had the same experiences as them when I was younger and show them that they are capable of anything!
