00:00Goldrush is literally the only team that supports the working woman and man.
00:05It's the only team that I felt like I would be able to have my full-blown career and still chase the dream of dance.
00:22Monday through Friday, I work a normal 9 to 5.
00:25I'm currently a research associate at a non-profit biomedical research institution where I'm doing Alzheimer's research.
00:32I'm going to school Monday to Friday and I'm also a barista after school.
00:37And then practice on Saturdays and game days on Sundays and rinse and repeat.
00:41Goldrush is so unique because we only practice on the weekends so it just lets us really shine in multiple passions which I'm so grateful for.
00:50We still do make the most of all of our time and still meeting with family, meeting with friends, but they do understand that this is just such an incredible opportunity and I think everyone in our lives is so happy for us.
01:01There is nothing that I wouldn't sacrifice to be able to do this and this is such a short part of our lives, right?
01:06Like right now it is everything and it is all consuming and it's so much fun but once I look back I'm going to wish I was still on this team.
01:13Like I never want to leave this team so I feel like at least for me there's nothing that I'm just like oh this is not going to work for me.
01:21I'm like no let's make it happen, let's do this.
01:23It's so important to show the younger generation that you can pursue your dreams.
01:27You can be a scientist, a financial analyst, or a student and also be an NFL cheerleader.
