| GET TO KNOW YOLANDA! |
I was born and raised in La Puente California. My
parents signed me up with Dede Soto at age nine and I
took private and group lessons weekly. It was then that I
knew I would devote my life to what I loved most... and that
is Baton Twirling.
Today with all my achievements and awards, I have no
regrets! Baton Twirling has made me the person that I am
today! I don't like to lose, I always give 110% at everything
I do and I love to show others what a wonderful sport baton
twirling is.
Baton twirling has allowed me to travel to other
countries to compete, teach and perform. I have been in
several commericials, been in one movie and I have
performed at many other fun events!!
I twirled for Bishop Amat High School and from 1996
to 2000 I was the feature twirler for the University of
Southern California's Trojan Marching Band. In 2000 I
graduated from the Marshall School of Business with an
emphasis in Information Systems.I worked at Paramount
Pictures as a Client Technology Analyst for three years
until I met my wonderful husband who has allowed me to
take a career change and teach others my talent, which is
baton twirling.
I owe my baton twirling talent to my parents who
devoted their lives in taking me to all my baton lessons,
paying all the bills, teaching me determination, dedication,
to get a good education and most importantly, love!
