It doesn't happen overnight. You have to put in the work if you want it.

I'm passionate about supporting causes that improve the lives of others, particularly cancer research and patient support, community health initiatives, and organizations that empower children with disabilities. I believe in creating stronger, more inclusive communities by helping expand access to care, resources, and opportunities for those who need them most.

How do you want people to remember you?
I hope people remember me for the kindness I showed them, whether we met once or 100 times, I strive to leave every interaction a little brighter by making others feel seen, supported, and valued. If I can have a positive impact on someone's day or life, no matter how small, that's the legacy I hope to leave.

What is a personal goal you are working towards this year?
One of my personal goals this year is to continue building a healthy balance between my career, being an NFL cheerleader, and my personal life. I'm learning to be more intentional with my time, so I can show up as the best version of myself in every role while still making time to recharge and enjoy the journey.

Who is your biggest role model and why?
My biggest role model will always be my grandpa. He was the hardest-working and most humble person I've ever known, and he made countless sacrifices to provide for our family. His selflessness, resilience, and unwavering love continue to inspire me to lead with kindness, hard work, and to always put others first.
