Years on Team: 2

Birthday: April 6

Sign: Aries

Favourite Argo Memory: I have two favourite Argo memories that really stick out in my mind. The first is stepping out on the field as a rookie for the 1st game of the season last year and experiencing the rush of excitement from all the fans. My second favourite memory was going to Montreal last year for the Grey Cup and having fun with all the girls on the team!

Occupation: Professional Dancer, Dance Teacher, Actor and Promotional Model.

Most Embarrassing Moment: I can’t help it, but I love to collect ALL dance and cheerleading movies ever made!  Yup …“Bring It On”…

Do you speak any other languages (if so which)?: Yes, I speak Russian and Spanish.

Favourite Vacation Spot: California

What do you like to do in your spare time?: When I’m not cheering for the Toronto Argonauts, I like to relax and travel to sunny destinations. I love shopping and also really enjoy taking acting classes in Toronto and dance classes in Los Angeles at the Millennium Dance Complex and at The Edge!

Workout/Nutrition Tip:  Do lots of cardio, Pilates and hot Yoga. I’m also a vegetarian, so my nutritional tip is to make sure you eat lots of fruits, veggies and drink lots of water!

When did you start Dancing?: I started dancing at the age of 3.  I’m trained in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, lyrical, modern, Latin Ballroom and Russian character dance. I have also done competitive dance, which gave me the opportunity to compete in Canada and the US.

Why do you like being an Argo’s Cheerleader?: I am honoured to be part of such an amazing organization and professional CFL cheer team!  I'm looking forward to the 2009 season and experiencing everything as a veteran cheerleader. I enjoy doing promotional events throughout the season and meeting all the fans and inspiring other young girls to become an Argos Cheerleader in the future.

If we could make one dream come true it would be?: My dream is to live in California and to be a successful dancer and actor. I’m attracted to warm weather year round, palm trees and sunny beaches.  I have always wanted to be a back-up dancer for a major recording artist and also appear in film, TV and commercials.

Who is your Role Model? My mother for her support, encouragement, knowledge and faith in me.  I’m also inspired by Michael “Pinball” Clemons because of his amazing accomplishments and continuous motivation to everyone.

Favourite Film, Song, Actor, or Musician: I love the movie The Notebook, listening to Akon, PCD, and Justin Timberlake. My favourite actor is Brody Jenner.
