Bio:
FAVORITE PART OF CAL GAME DAY:
Football: When the crowd stands up, the canon goes off, and the band plays "Fight" - Cal just scored a TOUCHDOWN!

Basketball: Cal Spirit is easily visible in the small arena that is Haas Pavilion. I love seeing all of Haas Pavilion get on their feet in support of our basketball teams.

FAVORITE CAL TRADITION: Fight Songs (like Big C, Sons, and Fight)! I love performing at alumni events and hearing the alumni sing along.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO DO IN BERKELEY? My favorite thing to do is definitely eating out with my friends. Berkeley has so many great and diverse restaurants!

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST EXPERIENCE AT CAL? Running for ASUC Senate. The people I met, the friends that supported me, and the memories that I made are absolutely unforgettable.

MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE AS A CAL CHEERLEADER: Besides performing in front of thousands of people and seeing myself on ESPN, my most memorable experience would definitely be going to Indiana with the Women's Basketball team and supporting them during the NCAA tournament. To see the Golden Bears fight their hardest for victory is something to truly be admired.

FAVORITE QUOTE: "Happy is what happens when all your dreams come true." - Galinda, from the musical "Wicked"

WHERE WILL YOU BE IN 10 YEARS? In 10 years, I will hopefully be married and starting a family. I will have a successful career in the financial district of San Francisco, where I will fight the urge to shop after work each day. And most importantly, I hope to be happy surrounded by my friends and family.

WORDS TO LIVE BY: "Everything happens for a reason!" Something that makes you sad at the moment will be something that makes you stronger in the future, so don't look to the past but always stay focused on the future. :)
