WHAT IS YOUR JUNK FOOD WEAKNESS?
Oh, my gosh, there are so many evil foods that I love, but the one that I can't say no to would have to be milk chocolates. Dove chocolates are the best by far -- especially the ones with caramel in the center.

WHO IS YOUR "CELEBRITY CRUSH"?
Johnny Depp is not only great looking but an amazing actor. I love the odd, quirky characters he plays in movies, such as in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pirates of the Caribbean and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST FEAR?
My biggest fear is drowning. Anytime I get in the pool, lake or, very rarely, the ocean, I will be sure to let whoever I am with to not mess with me. I'm not really sure what caused me to have this fear besides the fact that I cannot hold my breath for very long. but it definitely makes me not very fond of water parks.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS (IF SO LIST NAMES)?
I have three of the sweetest cats -- oldest to youngest: Carly, Sara and Gabi.

WHAT IS YOUR DREAM VACATION DESTINATION?
I have always wanted to vacation in Australia. It looks absolutely beautiful there, and there are so many unique animals such as kangaroos, koalas and kiwis to see. And of course because it is always sunny and warm -- perfect for their gorgeous beaches.

WHAT IS ONE THING MOST PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW ABOUT YOU?
The one thing that people would probably be surprised to know is that when I was younger, I used to have Madagascar hissing roaches as pets. They were kept in a large glass cage, and we must have had at least 200 of them. I thought they were the coolest pet to have since they were so different. My dad and I fed them cookies and cat food, and they drank water from a sponge. The roaches would make a loud hissing sound when you would pet them.

DO YOU HAVE ANY NICKNAMES?
T, Hor-Hay

WHAT SONG WILL ALWAYS BE ON YOUR IPOD?
All songs by John Mayer

FINISH THIS STATEMENT:
I am most proud of ... myself for not giving up on my dreams of becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader. It took a ton of hard work and courage to audition for the third time, and I must say, it was all well worth it in the end.

WHAT IS YOUR DANCING BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE?
I have been dancing since the age of 5 and went on to be a cheerleader in middle school and high school. My senior year I danced on a Senior Competitive Team at a dance studio. I then went on to earn a spot as a member of the world famous Kilgore College Rangerettes. Most recently, I was a member of the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers for three years.

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO AUDITION FOR DCC?
After dancing with the Kilgore College Rangerettes, I knew that I wasn't done with my dancing career, so I packed up and moved to Dallas to hopefully become one of America's Sweethearts. Unfortunately, my dream was short-lived when I was cut at the Finals round after auditioning in 2005 and 2007. However, I knew with enough practice and determination I would one day achieve my dreams of being a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE WHO DREAMS OF BECOMING A DCC?
Never stop reaching for your dreams. Practice really does make perfect.
