Meet the Coach: Donina
Hi, I’m Donina! I was born and raised in Quezon City, Philippines, and moved to California in 2017. I’m proud to now call Oceanside home. My career blends my passions-I work as a Family Law paralegal, serve as Head Coach of El Camino High School Cheer, and teach dance and acro to young movers and shakers.
I studied Political Science at the University of the Philippines Diliman, where I was a member of the UP Varsity Pep Squad—one of the most competitive cheer teams in the country. We represented the Philippines at international competitions in Thailand, Germany, Hong Kong, and beyond, while also earning an eight-year championship streak at the UAAP Cheerdance Competition.
After college, I continued my journey with A-Team Philippines, competing internationally and bringing Filipino dancers to the global stage. Today, I still dance as a proud member of OBG San Diego, a crew of passionate dancers who perform at local events simply because we love it!
In addition to my background in movement, I’ve pursued studies in Early Childhood Education and earned my Paralegal Certificate. My time as a preschool teacher shaped how I build fun, age-appropriate, and skill-focused programs for kids. My classes blend energy, structure, and creativity—designed to help kids thrive both physically and mentally.
I bring years of experience in performance, coaching, and early childhood development to every class I teach. My goal is to help each child build confidence, coordination, and a lifelong love for movement in a safe and empowering space.
“I believe in helping every child discover what their body can do—through flips, rolls, and a whole lot of fun!”
