Biography

What was your favorite academic subject growing up? My favorite academic subject growing up was history and later turned into my interest of Art History which I now have a degree in! 

If you could make one change in the world, what would it be? If I could make one change in the world I would make sports, dance and other after school activities more accessible to kids in lower income areas. Being part of a team or having a hobby growing up helped me into the woman I am today and I find it super important in child development. 
Who is your biggest fan? My biggest fan would have to be my parents as they have always loved and supported me in every aspect of my life and are my biggest cheerleaders. 

Favorite memory so far as a Rams Cheerleader? My favorite memory as a Rams Cheerleader has to be the NFC Championship game my rookie season in 2022. To this day, that game had the most energy I've ever felt and it was a great feeling knowing we were going to the Super Bowl!

Do pineapples belong on pizza? Yes 

What's next on your bucket list? The next thing on my bucket list is to visit the Philippines and the city where my grandparents grew up. 

What is your #1 gameday essential? My #1 gameday essential would be sour candy! Something a little sweet to get me through the long day. 

Most adventurous thing you've ever done in your life? The most adventurous thing I've done in my life is travel across Europe with my best friends. 

Describe your dream vacation. My dream vacation is on a tropical island where all I spend my time doing is laying out by the beach. 

How did you get your start dancing? I started dancing when I was 3 years old solely because my best friend was in dance classes and I wanted to take them with her. I just immediately fell in love with it and haven't stopped since! 

What is your pre-gameday hype song? My pre-gameday hype song is 'Five More Hours' because they play it at every game and is one of my favorite parts of the game! 

Most embarrassing dance memory? My most embarrassing dance memory had to have been my very first solo when I was around 5 years old and I completely forgot the routine so I just continued hopping around the stage til I remembered my dance again. 

Your go-to karaoke song? My go-to karaoke song is 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)' because it always brings good energy in a room when it plays and of course makes me wanna dance! 

What is your guilty pleasure? Something sweet! All my friends and family know that after every meal I always need my "something sweet" 

How would your best friend describe you? My best friend would describe me as honest, loud and outgoing 

Coffee or tea? Coffee! 

Favorite thing about Los Angeles? My favorite thing about Los Angeles is the diversity and acceptance for allowing people to be their true authentic selves. 

Favorite charity or cause that you love to support? The 'Me Too' Movement is a cause that I support because I love the initiative it brings to stop normalizing sexual harassment and assault on women and to bring more awareness to how frequent the occurrences are. 

Advice to your younger self? My advice to my younger self would be to trust and enjoy the path you're headed on especially as it will look very different than those surrounding you. The hard work, time and energy is all going to pay off! 

What would it mean to you to be a Rams cheerleader? For me, being a Rams Cheerleader means that I get to live the dream of my younger self and accomplish things through this organization beyond what I could have imagined. It is amazing feeling knowing that I am not only fulfilling my dreams of becoming a professional dancer but get to be involved with the fans and community. 

What are you looking forward to the most this season? I am most looking forward to being back at Sofi Stadium for game days because it simply never gets old.
