What's up, Cowboys Nation?
I am ecstatic to be joining the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers for my fourth season. I am eager to make this season the best yet and look forward to leading my teammates!
I was born in Hayward, California but I was raised in Irving, Texas. I studied Accounting and Business Administration at The University of Texas at Dallas where I also danced for four years as a UT Dallas Power Dancer. I love relaxing and hanging out over good food and music with friends and family. I also enjoy shopping for and styling both myself and my friends. I live for making the people in my life happy and helping them in any way that I can.
I know that without God this opportunity would not be possible; faith, consistency, and hard work have brought me this far in my life. I am thankful to the Lord and to my family and friends who have supported me on this long journey to start enjoying and experiencing the life I have always dreamed of.
There is no better feeling than to be a part of Cowboys Nation! I get to connect with the best fans in the world in a personal way and that means a lot to me.
LET'S GO COWBOYS!
