How do you spend your time outside of Gold Rush?
Outside of Gold Rush I like to spend my time with family and friends, getting outdoors, staying active, trying new restaurants, and seeing live music.
What personal accomplishment are you most proud of?
One personal accomplishment I am particularly proud of is making the team for a third time after having to take a season off. Following my second season on Gold Rush, I tore my ACL and underwent knee surgery in March 2023, which prevented me from trying out last year. Regaining my full abilities required great dedication and effort, but the journey was absolutely worth it. Being part of Gold Rush is an incredible experience, and I am deeply grateful for the wonderful relationships I have formed because of it.

Do you have any pets? Tell us about your favorite furry friends…
I have two doggies now! Ellie is a black and white border collie mix who is small for her breed, about 35 lbs. She's very smart, sweet, and energetic. Camper is an Austrian shepherd/ labradoodle mix with a blue merle, tan, and white coat and different-colored eyes. He is very cuddly and loves to play and eat treats.
What is your favorite memory at Levi's® Stadium?
My favorite memory at Levi's® Stadium was watching 500+ Junior Gold Rush take the field with us.
What impact do cheerleaders have during a game and/or in the community?
As Gold Rush cheerleaders, we make a significant impact in the community by serving as ambassadors for the 49ers and participating in various outreach activities and events. We engage in charity work, visit schools, and support local organizations, fostering a sense of community and giving back to the Bay Area. Our involvement and Gold Rush magic helps promote positive values and inspires young fans.
Who is your favorite 49ers player?
My favorite 49ers player is George Kittle because of his infectious love for NFL football, incredible talent, and vibrant personality.
Tell us about your journey of becoming a Gold Rush cheerleader.
Apparently, I've wanted to be a dancer since I was 2 years old. My mom isn't sure where I got the idea, but I started taking ballet classes at three. My high school dance team was highly competitive in Pom and Jazz, and I had an older teammate who made Gold Rush after high school. That's when I realized it was my dream to join the team and cheer for the Niners. I danced on San Diego State's D1 college team and taught dance at my local studio. After graduating in 2019, I planned to try out for Gold Rush in Spring 2020, but the pandemic canceled auditions. I finally got to try out the following year, and making the team was a dream come true.
How has being a part of Gold Rush affected your life?
I am forever #faithful to the Bay, and whether I am on the team or not I will as always feel like I am a part of this amazing, supportive, and inclusive group.
What do you like most about the 49ers organization?
What I like about the 49ers organization is their strong commitment to excellence both on and off the field. They have a rich history and tradition in the NFL, known for their competitive spirit and numerous championships. Off the field, the 49ers Foundation focuses on education, youth football programs, and community partnerships, making a positive impact on many lives. Additionally, the organization fosters a supportive and inclusive environment, showing dedication to both their players and fans.
