Most memorable moment as a USA Cheerleader: We were at a event for the wounded warriors, and we had a little girl ask to take a picture with us. I gave her my pom poms to hold while taking the picture and her face lit up with excitement. Afterwards, when we were walking away, she screamed “Mom that was so cool!”. Just the reaction of a kid taking a picture with us was something I will never forget. 

Most memorable moment in Cheerleading, generally: My most memorable moment in cheerleading was the first Seton Hall game that I cheered in. I was so excited to be able to cheer at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. I had never cheered in such a big stadium. When we got there, a group of kids asked us to sign their tickets. It was and is such a great feeling to have children look to you as a role model.

Words to live by/favorite quote: "Do not follow where the path may lead you. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail". -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Describe your personal style: My personal style is pretty laid back. I dress in whatever comes to mind in the morning and usually never plan outfits. But when it comes time to go out for a night or special occasions, my inner Barbie does come out. 

The song that best describes me is: Human by Christina Perri

Favorite sport to play (other than Cheerleading): Volleyball! I love to get everyone together and play on a nice day at the beach.

Favorite time of year and why: My favorite time of the year is the summer. I am a beach bum and love the smell of the ocean air and the warmth of the sand on my feet. 

I've always wanted to: Dance for the Rockettes, but unfortunately I am too short.

Reason I choose to volunteer my time to USA Cheerleaders: I chose to Volunteer my time to the USA Cheerleaders because I see that there is a great cause behind the organization.
