Biography

Community Involvement:

I have a long history of service in the Philadelphia area, including volunteering at ESL classes to help individuals learn English and serving hot meals to the community through Chosen 300 Ministries. In college, my sorority raised money for the Laurel House, an organization which provides shelter and resources for domestic violence survivors, and we hosted events such as "Walk A Mile in Her Shoes." I cherish every moment I get to continue to engage with the Philadelphia community through my role as an Eagles cheerleader.

Favorite Appearance:

As a cancer researcher, having the opportunity to visit children undergoing oncology treatment at the Ronald McDonald House was particularly meaningful. Despite their health challenges, the kids were full of energy and laughter, and it was an honor to showcase their drawings as part of our Crucial Catch uniforms.
