I was on the Palm Springs High School dance team for four years before graduating and joining the UC Davis Dance Team for two years.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO AUDITION FOR DCC? I decided to audition for the DCC because it had always been a dream of mine to dance for not only my favorite NFL team, but on the best professional cheerleading team in the nation. I also wanted to be an inspiration to all the little brown skinned girls who don’t think that they can turn their dreams into a reality.

PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: My two proudest accomplishments would have to be sponsoring a child from Africa on my own and being selected as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader!
