How do you spend your time outside of Gold Rush?
I love experiences and sharing those experiences with others. Whether it is a day of rest and relaxation or a day of exploration and adventure, I will always find a way to create an experience around my daily life. Sometimes, that looks like traveling the country to see my family and friends, craving time to enjoy a hobby or find a new hobby, and my favorite of them all is picking a themed dinner with fun snacks and watching a movie.
What are you passionate about?
I've been blessed and fortunate with so much (both tangible and intangible) and I am extremely passionate about giving back and serving others. Whether I have a lot or a little I will always find a way to give.
Where were you born and where do you live now?
I was born in Miami, Florida, and have lived in Los Angeles, California, for the past 10 years. Sunshine and sandy beaches are in my DNA.
Tell us more about your job.
I help manage the legal teams and departments of European Portfolio Companies across a variety of different industries. These companies are usually acquired or merged with existing companies and my role is to help with the company operations and banking providers. Most recently, I was afforded the opportunity to travel to Spain and London to foster client relationships.
What's something our fans would be surprised to learn about you?
Most people are surprised to learn that one of the languages I use to communicate is American Sign Language. I do not come from a deaf or hard-of-hearing family/community. I fell in love with the language as a child and minored in ASL in undergrad at the University of South Florida to work on my fluency. The 49ers have also featured me to interpret and sign the national anthem at a couple of Regular and Preseason games.
What is your favorite memory at Levi's Stadium?
I have two that are really hard to choose from. The first is being able to interact with a deaf fan on the sideline during the 2023 regular season. As Gold Rush was performing, she was cheering us on in American Sign Language, and when I responded in American Sign Language, she lit up in awe. Being on Gold Rush is about moments just like this where we are able to connect with fans and the community and they are able to see a little piece of themselves in each of us. The second favorite is easily when a young fan with pom poms caught my attention in the stands by mimicking my every move. This will always be a core memory for me because my goal is to inspire the youth to know that if I can live my dream they can too.
Who is YOUR biggest cheerleader?
My biggest cheerleader was and has always been my grandma. She believed in me before I knew how to believe in myself. She would cheer me on for the greatest of accomplishments and the smallest of them all. Being on Gold Rush has allowed me to honor the sacrifice and dreams she has for me and my family when she moved from Haiti to America. I am so grateful to have witnessed her love, support and grace in this lifetime.
How has being a part of Gold Rush affected your life?
Being a part of Gold Rush has completely shifted my mindset and perspective on work-life balance in the best way possible. I once thought that I had to live out my dreams before I could begin my career or focus on family. However, Gold Rush and the 49ers Organization has shown me that I can truly have it all and that I do not need to sacrifice my dreams or passions for a livelihood. This has empowered me to work harder, show up more for myself and others and truly live life on purpose.
