I was born and raised in Arizona, a true Phoenician. I am thrilled to be back for my fifth season as a Cardinals Cheerleader and feel honored to serve as this year’s team captain!
For me, dance started at the age of ten where I began learning all styles of dance, becoming competitive by age 13. After high school, I attended Arizona State University to pursue a degree in Kinesiology. Dance was pretty much put on the back burner throughout college, only taking classes when I had time.
By my senior year I felt it was time to dust off my dancing shoes and take my dancing to a professional level! I received my Bachelor’s degree, graduated cum laude, and became a member of the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders all within a couple months. Four years ago I had the opportunity to travel to the Super Bowl to cheer on the Cardinals in their first ever Superbowl appearance.
Through the Cardinals Showteam, I have had the opportunity to travel to Australia, Seattle, Texas, and Japan to perform for and support our troops. I look forward to sharing my knowledge with the new rookies and captains as well as the many fun and exciting experiences that will come along the way.
When I am not dancing, I hold a multi-facetted position with a local physical therapy company. I’ve also had the pleasure of being a nanny for the same wonderful family of triplets for the past nine years!
Outside of work I am in the process of pursuing my Master’s degree and certification in Occupational Therapy in order to work in pediatrics. In my free time I love goofing off and bonding with my younger brother, family, and friends.
I also enjoy whipping up anything homemade and tasty, I love to travel, and can be crafty when I get the chance. From a young age, I have had the desire to be a part of all things charitable especially when kids are involved. I love nothing more than to brighten somebody’s day and put a smile on their face!
Time to rise up red sea! See you on game day!
