Sarena Espinoza

Sarena is originally from Southern California (Corona), and made her way to Denver on a softball scholarship. She was the first person in her family to get a degree. In four years at MSU Denver, she was a starter, scholar-athlete, and earned her BA in Sport Management and minored in Sports Media. Working in sports has always been a dream of hers so she started working in the Athletics Department in her off-season as an intern. The opportunity to work in baseball originated when the Colorado Rockies and MSU Denver decided to partner on a 50/50 raffle at Coors Field. She joined the Rockies as a part-time staff member in April of 2018, during the establishment of the program. In January of 2019, she became a full-time staff member as the 50/50 Raffle Coordinator in the Community Affairs Department. She is part of a program that has raised over $1.5 million in just two seasons. A BIG part of her program are the volunteers from MSU Denver, and Sarena has managed over 2,000 volunteers and believes they are the reason why the raffle is so successful. Other areas she contributes to in the Rockies’ Community Affairs Department are the youth initiative programs such as camps, clinics, school programs, and volunteerism around Denver.
