How do you spend your time outside of Gold Rush? Outside of Gold Rush, I spend my time working on my fitness as I love finding new ways to challenge myself through exercise. I also spend a lot of time hanging out with my friends and attending Bible Studies!
What are you passionate about? I am passionate about 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 of 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.
What professional accomplishment are you most proud of? I am most proud of taking a leap of faith and going back to school to become an Ultrasound Tech. I always knew that Ultrasound sparked my interest, but I was nervous about going back to school for numerous reasons. I am proud to say that I will be completing my program in December of this year, and I am so excited to begin my career as an Ultrasound Tech!
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 am in need of a pep talk!
What's something our fans would be surprised to learn about you? I was a competitive gymnast for 11 years and I competed through level 10! I actually only danced for 2 years before I made the team.
What is your favorite memory at Levi's Stadium?
My favorite memory at Levis Stadium would have to be the NFC Championship game last season against the Lions. The Niners were down at halftime, but my team really kept up the energy and the positive vibes. We were able to go out to the field to watch the halftime show, and we sang "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey with each other at the top of our lungs. During the second half, we made a huge comeback! The stadium was so loud and the fans were a blast to interact with! When we won the game, we sprinted across the field to find our teammates...we hugged, we cried, and we screamed with joy because we were going to the Super Bowl!
What impact do cheerleaders have during a game and/or in the community?
I believe that cheerleaders have a great impact both on and off the field. Our players really feed off of our fans' energy, and cheerleaders can help keep up the energy of fans even in the toughest of games. I also believe that having cheerleaders is important because it gives little boys and girls good role models to look up to. I think that it's important for our youth to have those good role models to inspire them and leave positive impacts in their lives.
