What's your favorite memory from being on the Lady Cats dance team?
My favorite LC moment to date is traveling abroad to China. I was able to explore a new culture and bond with these amazing girls even before the season started.
Who is your biggest inspiration?
My father is my biggest inspiration. He was a fighter pilot in the Air Force and now he is a captain for United Airlines. My dad is dependable, loving, and smart. He showed me how to set goals in life, and he is a great leader.
Dream vacation destination?
My idea of a perfect vacation would be in Paris. I would be eating pastries and taking pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Did you play any sports growing up?
I played softball in middle school, and one day at practice I missed the ball and it hit me in the face. I had a black eye for days and wore sunglasses to class.
What's your favorite part of game day?
I love it all from warming up, our performances, and of course having the best seats in the house. My favorite part of games day would have to be greeting and meeting all the fans right before the game begins.
What is your favorite form of exercise?
I love running trails in Weddington with my Wheaton Terrier, Dixie.
What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
My favorite guilty pleasure has to be Raspberry white chocolate truffle cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory.
What's one of your favorite quotes that you live by?
"The harder I work, the luckier I get." My father told me this at a young age that I still practice today.
Favorite time of the year?
My favorite time of the year Christmas time because I love spending time with my family and enjoying delicious food. Family traditions include watching the Nutcracker at the Belk Theater, decorating gingerbread houses with my two younger sisters, and opening presents on Christmas morning.
