One thing most people would be surpised to learn is...I broke my femur while snow skiing when I was 16 years old! Isn’t your femur supposed to be the strongest bone in your body?!

Why did you decide to audition for the DCC?: Being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl. After I graduated, I was working in Washington DC, but I still had this dream in my heart of going to Dallas and wearing those white boots! “I’ll do it one day,” I would say to friends and family. But then this past year it dawned on me… what am I waiting for?! It will never be easy or convenient to make such a life changing move, but is it worth it? Absolutely. If I never tried, I would regret it for the rest of my life. I am proud that I finally put my wishing words into action and decided to chase my dream!

What are some of your DCC highlights?: Everything!! Being a DCC is a dream come true.

Advice for someone who dreams of becoming a DCC: Every single DCC starts with that same dream. Have the courage to go for it :) If your dreams don’t scare you they aren’t big enough!
