Years on the Outriders: 3
Education & Career: Registered Nurse – surgical assist for an Oral maxillofacial surgeon
What inspired you to audition for The Outriders?
I have been dancing since I was 12 years old, and it has been a hobby that I always wanted to carry into adulthood. When I
heard that the Outriders were holding open auditions I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to continue my dance
career, as well as get more involved in the community.
What is your all time dance career highlight?
My first Grey Cup would definitely have to be a career highlight for me. It’s such an incredible experience, filled with lots of dancing and incredible interactions with fans as well as other CFL cheerleaders. It truly is something you have to attend in order to understand, but it is definitely the highlight of every season for me.
Who is someone you admire, and why?
The people I admire most are my family- My twin sister, my Mom and my Dad. It would be impossible for me to narrow it
down to just one of them because they are all such incredible people that are truly the hardest working most loving people I know. I learn from each of them everyday, and they all push me to be the best version of myself.
What organization are you most excited to work with this season?
Hike for Hospice has always been a favourite of mine. It’s a great cause and an amazing opportunity to help support an
essential service.
If you were a superhero, what superpower would you have?
If I was a superhero I think I would like to teleport as my superpower.
What advice would you give someone who wants to join the Outriders?
Come to our drop in classes and even if you don’t think you’re ready and come to auditions! The best thing you can do is try, and if you don’t make it the first time around at least you know what to expect! Auditions can definitely be scary, and even I still get nervous. But above anything they are fun, and it’s a great opportunity to meet some of the girls and learn our dance style!
