How would your teammates describe you in 3 words: Determined. Empathetic. Energetic.
Favourite Family tradition: Every summer, my mama and I team up to paint a new mural on our fence. It’s messy, creative, and so special!
Local Restaurant: Brekkie
If you could have any celebrity as a best friend, who would it be and why?: Dr. Seuss because he would make every ordinary moment or conversation into some imaginative adventure. I feed off others energy so having someone with a playful spirit would inspire me to embrace more creativity and optimism in my own self.

Your Pre-Game ritual: Wake up with my heatless curlers locked in, give myself a high-five in the mirror, stretch and review game day material, fuel up with my go-to meal, do a couple of cartwheels for good vibes, and blast Doses and Mimosas on my way to McMahon.
Advice to someone wanting to audition for the Outriders: Start by perfecting your technique through consistent training—your foundation is key. Stay healthy and active to bring your best self to the audition. Attend workshops, connect with other dancers, and showcase your personality whenever you perform. Most importantly, bring your confidence, flair, and love for dance to every step of your journey. Stay resilient, enjoy the process, and keep shining!
