I am a Southern Cali girl born and raised. I have been an athlete my entire life and was born a competitor. I have four brothers and I am the only girl. My life has revolved around sports starting at a young age. I began playing soccer at the age of 5 and continued on throughout college. I was a varsity athlete in high school in soccer, cross country, cheerleading, and track and field. I also played on the junior varsity football team for a few months as the kicker. My senior year of high school I was a member of the under-19 Women’s Mexican National Soccer Team and my first year in college I was a member of the under-20 Women’s Mexican National Team. In 2007, I transferred from a city college to the University of Southern California where I continued my soccer career. As a Trojan, I won a National Championship in soccer at USC in 2007. In 2008, I became a part of the Competition Cheer Squad at USC. I discovered the Lingerie Football League through a close friend of mine and tried out for the Los Angeles Temptation in the Spring of 2009. Without a doubt, I became a member of the LA Temptation squad. I’ve been a huge football fan my entire life and grew up playing the sport with my brothers, so I knew this was definitely my time to shine. I am honored and privileged to be a part of this league because it is an opportunity of a lifetime.
"Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."
