Mexican-American, born in East LA to parents from Jalisco, raised around the hockey culture that the Kings quietly built in Latino communities through the 90s. Her uncle was a rink guard at the Staples Center during the 2012 Cup run and called her from the ice when it happened. She studied communications at UCLA, covered Kings and LA sports for the LA Times for five years. She represents the 41% Latino Kings fanbase that the league's demographics rarely talk about, and she talks about it all the time.
