I grew up watching Army/Navy games because of family members in the military and the Broncos due to my father being a diehard fan. They both laid the foundation for my love of football.

Alma Mater: Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia

Degree: Biology/ Pre-Nursing

Occupation and how does Broncos affect your work?
I am the Life Enrichment Coordinator for a Brookdale Senior Living Community. Being a DBC helps me maintain a high level of enthusiasm.

What is the most important attribute of a Denver Broncos cheerleader?
Grace.  We are given this wonderful opportunity to act as ambassadors for not only the Broncos organization but also the state of Colorado.  It is an honor to be able to work with such a professional organization that promotes grace and social elegance.

Most memorable experience?
I was sailing on the Bosporus as the sun set over the golden rooftops of Istanbul and the call to prayer sounded from every temple around us.  It was magical!

Who has been your greatest inspiration?
My family.  Through thick and thin they grow stronger and never compromise.  I hope to always keep the same standard they instill by example.

What is one thing about being a DBC that most people don't know?
Many people only see the sparkle and are not aware of the sweat and dedication it takes to make the performances appear effortless.

Best advice to kids?
"Of those to whom much is given, much is required." (JFK)


What sports do you enjoy watching or playing?
