Personal
Parents are Gabriela and Ivan Esquivel ... Favorite teams are Barcelona, Man City and PSG ... Favorite athletes are Lionel Messi, Neymar and Rayan Cherki ... Favorite movies are Interstellar, Whiplash and Rush Hour ... Favorite TV shows are Prison Break and Suits ... Chose UCR, "because it is a great school that offers a strong education and many opportunities for students to succeed. When I was looking at colleges, I wanted a place where I could continue growing both academically and athletically. UCR gave me the opportunity to not only earn my degree at a respected university, but also become a member of the men's soccer team. Being able to continue playing the sport I love while receiving a quality education made UCR the perfect choice for me."
