Biography

Favorite Current Eagles Player: LeSean McCoy – I admire his playing ability on the field and I also admire his involvement in the community off the field. He sets a wonderful example for today’s youth!

Favorite Eagles Moment: Listening to the retirement speech given by Brian Dawkins. It brought tears to my eyes because you could truly see how passionate he was about being an Eagle. He always put the team first and bled green while remaining humble. His play showed why he was the fan favorite for so many years. He was the pure definition of an Eagle and will always be one!

If you played in the NFL, what position do you think you would be? I think I would make a good wide receiver because I’m a fast runner and I’m small...so it would make it hard to catch me! Also, I wouldn't mind making all of the highlight reels.

Your Favorite App: Shazam – It decodes the name and artist of a song just by having the phone held close to the sound. I pick up the random songs on commercials by using it!

Favorite Movie: "Gladiator" and "The Other Guys"

Favorite Quote: "The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but then he simply cannot learn and feel change, grow and love and live." -Leo F. Buscaglia

Favorite Designer: I like many different designers, especially ones that design stilettos. I would pick Marciano, by Guess as my favorite.

Tell us about your favorite appearance as an Eagles Cheerleader: Appearing over Memorial Day Weekend last year for Fleet Week in NYC. We went onboard the USS Iwo Jima and made care packages to send overseas to military personnel. We also had the opportunity to talk to hundreds of servicemen and women. I was so excited to meet them and thank them for their sacrifices.

What makes Eagles fans the greatest in the NFL: Eagles fans are wild, spontaneous, and loyal. Rain, snow, or shine they still come out to cheer on their team! They truly do bleed green.

Secret to staying in shape: I love trying new Comcast On Demand workouts. They have a great selection! I also make an effort to run 2 miles each morning. On a lazy day, I will power walk with my dog instead.

What is sexy to you: Being able to hold an intelligent conversation and being able to make me laugh.

Name three celebrities that you would follow on Twitter: Jennifer Lopez  - She is beautiful and talented; Charlie Sheen – For a daily dose of comedy; Drake - For some good song lyrics

Favorite place to go on a date: Cantina Los Caballitos - It's a little Spanish restaurant with great food, a nice atmosphere, and amazing margaritas!  

Biggest pet peeve: My biggest pet peeve is nail biting.

Worst pickup line you have ever heard: "Did it hurt? Did it hurt when you fell down from heaven?"

What TV show are you embarrassed to admit watching: I don't think I'm embarrassed by the shows I watch. I love the Food Network, especially Cupcake Wars and Chopped. They give me good ideas for the kitchen! You would never think I could fit into my cheerleading uniform the way I am always cooking!!

What was your first job: My first job was working as an intern at a public relations firm in Rittenhouse Square.

Special talent that very few people know about: I bake at least 2 times per week - whether it's cake or cookies. I love finding cool recipes and adding my own little twist to them. My newest one is "Sweet Waffle Pound Cake."
