Career goals: I would like to pursue a career in marketing or publicity in the sports or entertainment industry.

I am most proud of: My acceptance to USC.

Dance/Cheer experience: Throughout the past 17 years I have studied jazz, hip hop, tap, pointe, ballet, and lyrical. I competed in various local and national dance competitions for eleven years. In high school, I was a cheerleader my freshman and sophomore years and a song leader my senior year.

Best word that describes me: Loyal.

Favorite aspect of USC/Reason for attending USC: It is a top academic school with an incredible amount of spirit. I am a third generation Trojan, and what they say is true, you attend college for 4 years, but you are a Trojan for life.

Favorite aspect of being a Song Girl: EVERYTHING..... dancing, performing, spending time with my teammates and of course the opportunity to support and cheer on USC's amazing athletes!

Favorite memory on the squad so far: Traveling with the basketball team to Spokane, Washington for the NCAA tournament last year.

Looking forward to on the squad this year: I can't wait for jock rallies, traveling with the band, and spending more time with my teammates.
