Argos Cheerleaders - Leah

 

Years on Team: Rookie

Birthday: August 18

Sign: Leo

Favourite Argo Memory: Boot camp weekend! It was a great way to bond with all the wonderful women on this team!  I can’t wait to make more memories with them!

Occupation: Actor/Bartender/Server.

Education: B.A. from University of Winnipeg with a Double Major in Theatre and Kinesiology.

Most Embarassing Moment: In high school, I always wore snap pants with shorts underneath.  One day during musical theatre rehearsal, I was standing on the platform and my friend pants'd me.  That day, I had forgotten to put shorts on so I was in my underwear in front of 60 students.  Luckily, I could just laugh it off!

Do you speak any other languages (if so which)?: Espanol!

Favourite Vacation Spot: I have many favourites, but some of my greatest memories are at my grandparents house in Hastings, Minnesota.  It is like going to a cabin with a private beach where I can just sit on the dock and listen to music!

What do you like to do in your spare time?: What is this spare time you mention? I like to practice singing or dancing, but mostly I enjoy being with my friends.  I don’t have family here in Toronto so friends are so important!

Workout/nutrition tip: Keep fit and have fun as Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod would say! Eat a healthy diet, but don’t be afraid to have some sweets now and then to satisfy those cravings.  I am a chocolate lover!

When did you start dancing?:  I started when I was 5, but during junior high, I stopped to play more soccer.  I got back into it in high school when I realized how much I missed it!

Why do you like being an Argos Cheerleader?: I love it because you get to meet such amazing, strong women who share my passion for dancing and performing. Plus, I love football so much and what better way is there to watch a game than by cheering right on the sidelines!

Do you have any pets (if so what name)?: Two lab shepherd crosses named Hunter (150 lbs.) and Mya (130 lbs.).  I like to call them my puppies, but when they weigh that much it is misleading!

If we could make one dream come true it would be?: I want to win an Oscar one day!

Who is your role model?: My parents, they are the most determined and supportive people I know.  They can be put through an awful lot and still be your number one fan! Also, my sister because, well, she is pretty cool!

Favourite Film, Song, Actor or Musician:  I do love Norma Jean, a.k.a. Marilyn Monroe. She was a beautiful woman and let women know they should be proud.  One of my favourite quotes by her is, “I don’t mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it”.
