Angel rice and archer Nelson are her biggest inspirations. Angel grew up just like her but came by and made it all the way to the pro league. Archer moved for his dream team but even though he didn't make mat he showed dedication which helped catalina push more for her dream.
The fact she pushed passed everyone who told her she won't make it and she's not good enough. Even though she had many negative words growing up she did her best to ignore it which eventually brought her to one of her dream teams. She also had 3 injuries on her legs which set her back so far but she didn't give up and went back to working hard to get where she is now. Seeing her perform on stage now is like seeing a whole new little girl.
