Words to live by/favorite quote: “Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don’t, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it’d be easy, they just promised it would be worth it!”

Why did you decide to audition for the DCC?: I decided to audition for DCC because of my passion for dance teams. As college was coming to an end, I realized that I wasn’t ready for my dance team experience to be over. I have always had the upmost respect for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and consider them the best NFL cheerleading organization in the nation. I decided that if I was going to take a big chance on something, doing it right after college was the perfect time to do so. Go big or go home!
What are some of your DCC highlights?: The best thing about being a part of DCC is definitely all of the teammates. All of the girls are amazing people and we have all gotten so close throughout this whole experience. So much of this great opportunity has to do with the people you share it with.
Advice for someone who dreams of becoming a DCC: Hard work is key in becoming a successful NFL cheerleader. You can never practice too much! Never settle and always push yourself to become a better performer. The more fun you have with the routines, the more fun the crowd is going to have!
