Hey Cowboys Fans!
I am so excited to be able to experience this year as a Captain for the best dance team in the NFL! This will be my 4th season with Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue.
I was born in Fort Bragg, California, but I was raised in Harlingen, Texas. I had a late start to dance and did one year of studio training at Danzforce Academy. I then was a member of the SFA Dance Teams for 4 years and became captain my senior year. I am a 4x NDA National Champion, and I also had the privilege to help earn the SFA Dance Teams 2 more championships as their Assistant Coach in 2021. I am a first-generation graduate and received my bachelor's degree from Stephen F. Austin State University in Dance Education, Kinesiology & Health Science and minor in General Business. I love sharing my passion by teaching and choreographing!
I am beyond grateful to call myself a dancer for the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue and get the opportunity to dance with amazing individuals! Huge thank you to all the people that have believed in me and have followed my journey thus far. I cannot wait to dance my heart out with my new family!!!
Go Cowboys,
