What is your current job outside of cheering for the Tennessee Titans?
I am involved in media production! Odds are that you have probably seen my work while watching T.V. and didn't even realize it!
What is your favorite memory as a Titans Cheerleader?
I've had so many wonderful memories as a Titans Cheerleader. One that sticks out in my mind is the Titans Uniform Reveal last April. The energy, support, and excitement from all of the Titans fans was unbelievable. Thousands of people came downtown and turned a random Wednesday night into the biggest party of the year. It was so much fun!
Since you know so much about T.V., if you could be on any television show which would you choose?
Dancing With The Stars with Derek Hough as my partner!
Interesting! If you could pick any singer, which artist would you dance to with Derek?
Definitely Usher! He's been in the game for over a decade. I feel like I can always rely on him to put out some great dance hits!
Do you have a favorite vacation spot?
Anywhere with great scenery! Photography, running/hiking, and sunsets are some of my favorite things, so a view is a must. I hope to go to Switzerland someday!
If you could have any super power which would you choose?
_If I could have a super power it would absolutely be teleportation. I love to travel and it would save so much time. Forget TSA pre-check, I'll just teleport! _
Who has been the biggest influence on your life?
My parents are the biggest influences in my life. They are the two best people I know! I'm so thankful for their love and support.
What is your favorite way to break a sweat?
My favorite type of workout is running. It can be done anywhere, anytime, and it releases mega endorphins. I've run 3 half marathons and plan to run a 4th very soon!
Tell us a unique fact about yourself!
I have been to 28 of the 30 Major League Baseball stadiums! I hope to check out the last 2 very soon!

What is your life motto?
"The more you are in a state of gratitude, the more you will attract things to be grateful for."
Why do you cheer?
It all comes down to the feeling. The feeling of adrenaline you have when you perform a routine in front of thousands of fans. The feeling of excitement on the sidelines after we've scored a touchdown and are headed to the playoffs. The feeling of fulfillment when you help make a difference in people's lives through community service. The feeling of friendship you create with women who go through these once in a lifetime experiences with you. Those feelings are unmatched!
What have you gained from this cheer opportunity within the NFL?
Cheering in the NFL has allowed me to continue my passion for performing in an outlet that combines my love of cheerleading, dancing, and football. It has taught me life skills, enhanced my respect for community service, but most of all, I've gained lifelong friends who have shared unforgettable moments with me!
