Where is your hometown/where do you currently live? My hometown is Bracebridge (Muskoka).

Please describe your favourite moment as an Argos Cheerleader. My favourite moment as an Argos Cheerleader is Grey Cup. The Grey Cup atmosphere is very exciting. Players, cheerleaders and fans from across Canada attend. There are pre- and post-game celebrations, meet and greets, entertainment, contests and of course the big game! Being part of the CFL and participating in the Grey Cup is an unforgettable and life-changing experience. I can't wait to cheer on the Argos at this year's game in Montreal! Yes... they are going to make it. GO ARGOS!!!

What has been your most embarrassing moment? A few years ago, I participated in a charity fashion show. As I was walking down the runway, I tripped over my dress. Although I recovered and did not fall flat on my face, it was still one of my most embarrassing moments.

10 years from now I’ll be… I really have no idea... my life seems to change so quickly. Family is very important to me. I would love to have children one day.

My ‘perfect’ day would consist of… My perfect day would consist of waking up at my cottage in Muskoka on a warm summer day, having breakfast on the dock, swimming, boating and spending time with friends and family.

Something no one knows about me is… People are always surprised when I tell them I teach construction technology. Part of the grade 9 integrated technology class requires students to learn basic woodworking. We use hand tools, the scroll saw, band saw, drill press and router. It is one of my favourite classes to teach.

Anything else you’d like to tell fans about yourself? I am so excited to cheer on the Toronto Argos again this season and I look forward to meeting all the fans at games and community events.
