Hey Cowboys Fans,

I'm so excited for my rookie season on the most dynamic dance team in the NFL. I'm extremely grateful for this opportunity to dance alongside many hard-working and talented individuals and can't wait to cheer on America's Team with you all!

I grew up in North Richland Hills, Texas and was raised a Cowboys fan. I attended school locally at Dallas Baptist University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Sport Management. I currently work for the Texas Rangers Baseball Club and am very passionate about integrating entertainment into sports to enrich the fans' gameday experience. Outside of that, I choreograph and teach dance routines to local high school teams.

I can't express how blessed I am to do what I love every day. To my family, friends, and past teachers, thank you for outpouring your love and support for me and for inspiring me to chase after all my dreams. I am forever grateful! I hope to inspire and pour out my support to others to chase after what they love. I can't wait to show Cowboys Nation our hard work and passion through the art of dance this season.

Go Cowboys!
