Favorite childhood memory:  When I went to my first Rams game with my family.  I could not believe how big the stadium was.  I knew right then that I wanted to be a cheerleader.  Before we left, my dad bought me a necklace, earrings, and scrunchy all with Rams helmets on them!  The funny thing is, I still have them.

Something interesting about you or your family others may not know:  A lot of people would never guess that I have played soccer my entire life. I was a four-year varsity player and a two-year varsity captain in high school.

Five things you would like to accomplish in this lifetime:

3.  I want to travel more. 
4.  I want to take some classes in fashion design and maybe one day open up my own boutique. 
5.  I want to keep my career going with the Rams organization.  I want to keep cheering for many years, get more involved with charities and one day start my own charity.
