Dance/Cheerleading Background: I took dance lessons starting at the age of 4 at the local dance studio in my hometown. I've been cheerleading since the age of 8. I started at a midget league level and progressed though middle school, junior varsity, varsity, college and now NFL!
Most Memorable Moment/ Greatest Achievement: My most memorable moment was when I found out I had made the team. Although it was intimidating to tryout for the team it was a dream that I wanted to fulfill. Although there were doubts about making it, I went for it anyway and it has brought me so many things in life! My greatest achievement was graduating college. Making and seeing your parents and family proud of you is a great feeling! Four years of hard work really paid off!
Four words to describe yourself: Ambitious, Dedicated, Loving, Trustworthy.
Most thrilling moment as a Jill so far: Having nearly 80,000 fans screaming and cheering for you is a great feeling! It is also thrilling and rewarding to have little girls and young women tell you that you are a role model to them and that they want to be just like you one day. What could be better?!
The best thing about being a Jill: The feeling you get when you step out on the field before every game is like no other! The screaming fans and all the chaotic action of the game is amazing!
Reasons I like Buffalo: I come from a small town so being in a city with so many different things to do is great! I love exploring the city and learning new things about the community and the people that live here.
Goals for the future: BE SUCCUSSFUL! I would love to start my own business one day in cosmetics. I want to live in a beautiful city, have a successful career, marry the man of my dreams and have lots of children!
Worst Fear: Failure
Personal Motto: "Everything happens for a reason." Even if we don't know what that reason is. "What is meant to be will be." Even if we want it to be a different way.
Favorite Food: Italian food and Ice cream!
Favorite Color: Pink!
Favorite Music Artist/Group: Carrie Underwood/ Rascal Flatts
Favorite Actor/Actress/Movie: Matthew McConaughey/ Rachel McAdams/ Father of the Bride I and Father of the Bride II are my favorite movies. I watch them so much I know them word for word! I also love the Notebook. I am a romantic!
Favorite Animal: Puppies/dogs. Especially my beagle puppies Roman and Maddison!!
If I could change something about myself: It would be decisions I've made in my past. As far as character goes however, nothing, even my bad habits make me the person that I am.
Something I always wanted to learn: How to be an amazing cook and how to speak Italian.
How does being a Jill enhance different aspects of your career/personal Life? Most people have a negative outlook on cheerleaders in general. Being an NFL cheerleader has prepared me more for the future than most would imagine. It has given me the ability to speak comfortably in front of people. It has taught me how to be professional and classy and it has also given me independence, manners, patience, and confidence.
Most prized possession: My life! We only have one chance at life and we need to cherish it everyday for what it is.
Most admired person and why: I look up to my parents the same way I did when I was a little girl. Everything they have done for me helped make me the person that I am today. Two women that I'm influenced by and I look up to are my cousins Nancy and Maria. They are very successful in their personal and business lives. They work hard to make themselves better women everyday and I love them very much.
I'm a fan of: The Buffalo Bills, summer, vacations, chocolate, and big families!
Best advice I ever received: Make decisions that are best for you and that make you happy! And to enjoy my youth and independence!
Hanging on my refrigerator door are: Pictures of my family, friends, puppies, and teammates, and the Bills 2008-09 schedule.
I'm proud to be: The woman that I am!
Advice for kids: Be the best person that you can be! Always treat others how you would like to be treated, because there is no good reason to treat anyone poorly. And when it comes to your dreams... shoot for the stars! If you put all of your mind and heart into accomplishing it, if it is meant to be, it will be...
