I was born in California and moved to Southlake, Texas when I was 3. Southlake is a suburb, 30 minutes outside of Dallas and Fort Worth. I enjoy being in the middle of these two awesome cities and only 10 minutes away from the DFW Airport. Southlake is a such a beautiful city family oriented community.

I am also a third-year on the OU All-Girl cheerleading team. I have been cheering since I was 9 and my love and passion for the sport hasn't changed at all over the years. I remember how ecstatic I was when I made the team at the end of my senior year of highs school. I struggle with ankle issues from multiple previous injuries, overuse, and the excess pounding and stress that cheer puts on my body. Regardless of the pain, I am so blessed to be able to do what I love for my university and so thankful for all the opportunities this team as to offer. I am also so lucky to be able to share this experience and cheer with my best friends.
In high school, besides cheerleading, I was very involved in track. I ran the 400 meters and 4x4 relay. I had to give track up in college in order to cheer. I still run everyday, reliving my glory days at the OU track. I also am avid workout fanatic and love to be active.

I love to cook. My mom and her mom are both excellent cooks. Growing up, I always aspired to cook as well as they both do so I decided to teach myself how to cook when I moved into my house last May. It has become something I look forward to doing everyday.
When I'm not cooking, I enjoy eating Mexican Food at Mi Cocina or enjoying a nice steak at Bob's Steakhouse. I have recently discovered that I like sushi and have been trying new things on the menu each time I'm at a sushi restaurant. However, my absolute favorite food in the entire world is chocolate and peanut butter. I could not think of a more perfect combination of foods. I love sweets and desserts in any way, shape, or form. Chocolate is my weakness.
My family is the most important thing in my life. I love going home to visit them and I love that they come up very frequently to watch me cheer. We enjoy traveling to different countries for vacations and spending time together. My sister, Keaton, is a freshman at TCU and my brother, Jordan, works and lives in St. Louis.

Jackson is my pride and joy, and the family pet. He is a miniature schnauzer and is 15 years old. He is and old soul but is in such great shape due to the exercise, special food, and love and affection that we give him.
