Number of Quotes: 2
I feel I could be a role model to other Hispanic gymnasts interested in the sport, but I also want them to
understand the importance of being focused, determined, and not giving up, despite all the struggles.
My mother was in the Army Reserve for six years. She taught me the importance of following rules, finishing what I start,
never giving up, leadership skills, teamwork, staying positive, motivated and how to pack the military way when I'm traveling!
