129. Through Her Lens: Meet The Woman Capturing 49ers History (Sarina Soriano)

What's up Rock Nation, today we welcome Sarina Soriano to the show! Sarina was born and raised in San Jose, California and has always been passionate and involved in sports. Her tenacity led her to become the first female Senior Producer for the San Francisco 49ers, also making her one of the first Latina cinematographers in the NFL. She works in 49ers Studios where she creates content for the San Francisco 49ers website and social media channels. She is a two-time Emmy Award winner in the following categories: "Best in Craft Achievement Photographer/Editor Spanish: Sarina Soriano" and "Best Sport's Program Live or Post-Produced: 49 Hours."
