Personal
- Born October 5th
- Daughter of Diana and Hector
- Has one brother
- Her hero is her mother Diana, "She's always there to support me, no matter what. Whenever I'm feeling down or doubting myself, she has this incredible way of lifting me up mentally and pushing me to keep going. Her unwavering belief in me and her constant encouragement make all the difference. She's my biggest cheerleader, and I wouldn't be where I am today without her."
- Most admires Oklahoma City Spark player Jocelyn Alo, "I've been told I'd make a great designated hitter throughout my softball career. Even when I'm feeling down about my performance, seeing her excel on the field inspires me to push myself harder. Her success and determination remind me that I can achieve great things too, and it keeps me motivated to keep improving."
- Chose to attend Chico State, "Because of the scenery. Plus, my dad went here for football, so it's got that family connection. It's also the perfect distance—close enough to home but still far enough to feel like I'm getting away." 
- Greatest sports moment so far is hitting 10 homeruns over her high school career, "But the highlight has to be during my senior year rival game when I hit a home run and got 4 RBIs. That feeling was just unbeatable."
- Best talents outside of her sport is soccer and ping pong
- Plays the guitar, violin and xylophone
- Hangs out with family and friends, travels and camps when she has free time
- On the top of her bucket list is traveling to Japan during cherry blossom season
- Best advice she has ever received is from her mom, "The best advice I've ever received is to keep going, even when you feel like giving up. There will be moments when things get tough, but if you push through and try again, you'll find that you still have a love for whatever you're doing. This advice has helped me stay motivated and passionate, no matter the challenges."
